Public bug reported: Binary package hint: unixcw The unixcw program sends incorrect characters at the default speed (12 wpm). Starting the program simply with the command cw (i.e., with no parameters), the program generates CW sounds, but the sounds do not match the characters typed on the

Public bug reported: Binary package hint: unixcw If one starts the cw program at speeds higher than the default (say, with cw -w 30), then no matter what character is typed, the program simply generates a longish tone, instead of dits and dahs. The duration of the tone varies slightly from

It seems that this is probably a different manifestation of the same bug as #511676. Starting the program as cw -w 12 (the default speed) and typing T, one gets the sound, as reported in bug #511676, that is similar to an R. Starting cw at 20 wpm, the sound for any character is more like an N,
