K3 needs survey: keyer speed adj

DOUGLAS ZWIEBEL
K2MK said,
I would like to see the keyer speed adjustment changed so that it takes 2
encoder pulses for each WPM increase or decrease. When you are keying with
your right hand and want to change your speed by 1 WPM it takes a bit of
mental skill to simultaneously use your left hand to turn the knob just a
tiny bit. I find myself jumping 2 or 3 WPM. Slower knob action might help.

KR2Q sez:
As with most other requests, I would suggest that IF this request is
considered, that it be made an OPTION on the config menu.  As best as
I can tell, right now the rate of change is about 8 wpm per 90 degrees
of rotation; that's plenty slow for me, but I won't stand in the way
of "progress" for others...as long as it is an user selectable OPTION
instead of "changed to."

In fact, I'd like to go "the other way."  Have a user selectable
option to select the STEP for CW speed: 1, 2 OR 3 wpm per "impulse."
Maybe including a 0.5 wpm step would solve both of our requests.  :-)

I would prefer a selectable maximum speed of the built-in
keyer which is limited to 250 cpm now. In  my opinion, a
max speed range between 200 and 350 cpm would be great.
Lowest speed would not be touched, anyway.
