Bob,

The range of dot/space ratios we provide in the DOT entry is about as wide as we
can make it, for reasons relating to internal firmware timing. But we all
listened to code at both extremes, and felt that we had covered the range of
ratios that anyone would want to use. We felt that anything lower than .90
sounded too "light". Your comment is the first I've heard otherwise. 

I've added an item to the firmware wish-list to see if the range can be extended
below this point.

Thanks for the input.
