Can the user adjust the rise and fall time on CW? If yes, what are the steps?
The CW settings have been optimized at the factory and will not be
adjustable. IF a need presents itself to make them adjustable it can
be done in a future firmware revision.

Wow...when did this happen?
The answer used to be YES. While I"m sure the rise/fall times are
good (as reported by ZV and others, but questioned by EKM), I am
totally surprised that something changed in the FAQ "without
notification." Or did I miss it?
Since I had personal (private) email exchanges about this (rise/fall
for cw) and saw the adjustability as a "feature" I liked (but did
suggest that the "low end" for the rise time range was too short and
would be clicky), I feel rather "empty." Not so much because this
"feature" was dropped, but because I don't know what else was
"changed" on the FAQ. I never did save an original copy.
Is there a list of "deleted features" from the early FAQs available?
Thanks,
