Use the QSK mode. There is no menu option to change the rise time-
intentionally. If you listen to CW contests there are some REALLY wide
signals out there. The K3 won't let you do that.
Side note: The Drake 4-line had the best sounding CW note, in my humble
opinion.

Here's some further info quoted from a fellow who has worked me a dozen
times or so in the CWT's. We haven't had a rag chew so I'm hoping this is
still a N1MM+ = computer = K3S issue. My last rag chew yesterday with a
fellow when I asked, he described my bug-sent CW note as "very steady,
pure" or words to that effect.
"the keying is very very "soft" - the opposite of a "hard" clicky signal.
The attack/decay time, i.e. the time it takes to go from full off to full
on (or on to off) is so long that a string of dits at over 30 wpm almost
melt into one another, making it hard to copy. It's certainly distinctive."
Is there a menu to adjust CW rise time? Is a firmware reload worthwhile?
I'm currently at the latest versions.
