I somehow managed to think of that.

However, I've *never* received the courtesy of a reply, even by e-mail.
That's a good indication that they don't like to be bothered.

Perhaps it would offend many of their commercial interests to point out
such faults.  No doubt, few QST readers care about CW operation anyway.
Elecraft is about the *only* company that always allows iambic mode selection
for their transceivers.  I love the Elecraft iambic keyer performance on my
K1.

Mike, Ten Tec provides for CW mode selection on its larger rigs--Orion and Omni VII.
I believe the Eagle only allows Curtis B mode.
