well - most built-in keyers have some way to adjust the sending - for example a "weight" control seems to be the very least that you find on almost every transceiver that features a keyer and this is a Wish List, after all ;-) ----- Original Message ----- From: Julian, G4ILO (via Nabble) To: Ken_ke2n Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2008 23:23 Subject: RE: [Elecraft] Farnsworth and EME

Hence the use of exaggerated character spacing (a.k.a. Farnsworth). That's an interesting justification and I've learned something from reading it. But I think the question has to be asked as to why what is a pretty specialized requirement needs to be built into the K3 rather than performed by an external box or computer software. It seems to me a bit like asking if the K3 could have a built-in WSPR beacon mode. :) Julian, G4ILO. K2 #392 K3 #222.
