I personally would prefer slghtly softer keying on my K2.  Say 4-5 ms 
rise/fall instead of the current 2-3.  Let me add, though, that it is 
MUCH better than an unmodified MP and many other rigs.  I often hear 
stations clicking 3 KHz off frequency.

I suspect this is handled in firmware and Wayne would have to give up 
valuable memory resources to make it adjustable!
