Some old-timers may remember the "banana-boat swing" in which a bug is

some relationship between the number of dits sent and the number required.
Well, this is *easier* to copy than CW with lousy spacing!
To forestall the inevitable comments, yes I know that the banana boat swing
differs from the Lake Erie swing, in which the proper quantity of dits is
used.
Now that strikes me a worthwhile addition to the K2 keyer....an option for which
swing you want.
Another one might be a seperate weighting factor for the dashes....you know
