Okay, maybe this is a dumb question, but I have searched the Elecraft
Archives back to October 2011 and I cannot find what I'm looking for (or
I don't know what I'm looking for).
What is CW Weight? I know what the book says, "Adjust element/space
timing ratio (weight) for the internal keyer."
What does that mean?
I ask this, because I like to use a bug or a straight key. When I *do*
use my paddles, I notice the dits do not sound as "crisp" as the dits on
the bug. I'm sorry, "crisp" is the best adjective I can think of. The
paddles (at the default CW weight of 1.15) sound "muddled" or "mushy" to
my hearing. I turned the CW weight down to 0.90 and it sounds more like
the dits on the bug - "crisp."
If there's a change in the way the dahs sound with the CW weight at
0.90, I cannot tell a difference. In all honesty, I'm probably a little
long on my dahs on the bug anyway ;) .
Does CW weight increase or decrease the, hmm... roll off? of the dits.
Kind of like a cap slowly discharging?
Meh... Maybe I'm just nuts.
