CW Ratio & Rhythm

[ALAN GARD]

Hi All
 
Interesting and instructive discussion on CW ratios and weights.  But as far as I can see no-one has made the point that the most pleasing code follows a musical rhythm (think crotchets and quavers).  The requirement for this is not that a dah is three dit-lengths, necessarily, but that a dah plus its space takes *twice* the time of a dit and its space.  Adding or reducing "weight" should not affect this fundamental rhythm.

 Hi,

Can someone tell me how to set the VFO step rate to 1K.  I messed around
with my settings and can't get it back to 1K.

Thanks,
Manuel  W4SSB
