I'm confused by the jargon now . QRS is
plain ole' slow speed morse. QRSS 3 is very slow with 3 second dots for
machine reading?
What is QRS 3
As far as I am concerned QRS means slow morse, as
slow as you want it to be. There is no such designator in international
procedures as QRSS. This is something invented in recent times for LF activity
and means nothing to the general amateur radio community.
QRS 3 would normally mean reduce speed to
3wpm, but in LF circles it means speed is 3 sec dots, QRS 30
means 30 sec dots. I suppose one should say QRS 3 SEC or QRS 30
SEC for computer generated and received CW.
This is what I understand for machine assisted
CW. I normally work only CW except under exceptionally
circumstances when the other station cannot send normal CW.
I am surprised that a G3 would be so
confused, I cannot say I have ever heard or seen signals from G3GVB and your
broken English is hard to understand for us where English is a second
language.
The majority of signals that I see on
QRS are perfectly workable on normal CW. The exception might be someone
on QRP which means as low power as you want or on LF is it
QRPP.
Stick to established procedures and avoid
