Thanks, Evan. That's helpful.
I may install the Nextion display eventually though I've heard concerns that it puts out a lot of RFI. I had downloaded the N8ME sketch and was thinking I would try that, so probably will do so given your information. My main interest is an improvement in CW operation - the stock firmware has an irritating delay when keying.
I got the V6 recently as a kind of winter project, to see if I could make it "cw-worthy." I had done a lot of mods on the v3 but it never was very good on cw. The V6 seems somewhat more promising.
