It appears to sense the spacing within each character sent. If manually sent CW 
is over 22 wpm…and the spacing is close enough…the FTdx101D will blur the dits 
together. The letter ‘H’ turns into a long dash. No other radio I have here 
(thirteen) does this. I recorded spectrum scope videos on a separate receiver 
and sent them to Yaesu. Their response was ‘use a paddle and don’t bother us.’ 
But I’m over it; I just use my IC-7610 or RGO One when I use my cootie :)
