If you want somebody to give you a signal report from a transmitter with such a large dead-key to PEP ratio such as 2w to 122w, then you need to give them some continuous audio to allow their S-meter to react. Otherwise when you talk their s-meter may not be able to swing fast enough to the large signal swing.
When you have such a low dead key, some far stations may not be able to tell when you key-up and un-key, they can only hear your voice. And inbetween your syllables they will hear the static on the channel.
