I for one would like to have some control over the rise/fall times.
You want the cleanest (narrowest) of CW signals when operating on a crowded
band or in a contest - unless you're a rare DX station. Most of my
operations are 22wpm rag chews on very uncrowded bands. We're often the
only
I've spent many an hour observing my subjective thought processes as I copy
CW. And I have to admit that after 60 years of operating CW (with a head
copy cruising speed of 25-30 wpm and a hard copy speed transcribing
radiograms of about 22 wpm using pencil), I do not actually hear entire
words,
I too learned Morse code from a chart (dots and dashes) in the Boy Scout
Manual at age 11 or so in about 1955. I had no trouble at age 14 learning
it by ear at up to 30 wpm within a couple of years of on-air operating
(especially CW traffic nets).
In those days we didn't have audio code apps or
MFJ tuners that use switched tapped air inductors often fail to allow
sufficient spacing between each tap and the adjacent turns of the coil, and
either heat expansion or high-voltage arcing can cause shorts between the
tap and an adjacent turn, completely changing the effective tuner settings,

I've had my KPA500 for a couple of weeks, now, and I have questions
relating to its efficiency as a function of power output and band. A friend
of mine recommended that I run only 300 watts output most of the time in
order to preserve the life of the FETs. I told him that I didn't spend
