Just think of it..,some folks might actually send cw without keyers or 
computers....but that would be painful, it might require more hand-eye 
coordination and some sense of spacing, etc.

As far as chirp, hum, etc.....wasn't there a series of posts about how the K3 
"sounds", compared to the K2 and other rigs?  Geez, maybe Aptos best stamp out a 
distictive K3 sound(g).
