I am using a RRC-1258 with a Elecraft Mini. What internet upstream and downstream speeds should I be using. My ISP offers 12Mpbs download and 896Kbps upload speed. Is that adequate? I get some blocking and delay at these speeds. I tried closing all other programs and services with no success. The download speed should be OK. The upload speed is fine for transferring  files but what about ongoing dynamic uploads such as when continuously  poling the receiver for frequency, mode  and other radio changes? The delay and blocking can make reception difficult if not impossible at times. I am fairly certain it is an internet issue.

I have been doing some testing in regard to the latency issue I have when using the K3/0 and RRC-1258 with Remote Ham Radio.  When I operate  either SSB or CW the other station misses the first part of my transmission because of the delay in switching from receive to transmit. When I end my transmission I miss the first part of the other stations transmission due to the delay in switching from transmit to receive. A couple of words on sideband and 4 or 5 characters on CW are missed. I am using PTT on sideband and  I have the paddle plugged into the K3/0. I notice that the MicroBit set up shows some LF delay and Key delay parameters for  CW. Do they have to be changed? Is there some  kind of Sticky Key setting that needs to be adjusted. I am not smart enough to figure any of this out on my own.
