[Elecraft] CW rise time mod

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

I  certainly did not notice it on K3 S/N 10, nor did anyone I worked on CW.
But I seldom operate CW above 25 WPM. IIRC, it was a high speed operator who
noticed the 'soft' keying, probably working at rates well above 25 WPM.

Still, I made the change because, as the notes on the web page suggest,
there will be the ability to adjust the characteristic using the MENU
commands in the future. But that firmware will assume a particular hardware
configuration, and I wanted my hardware to match what the firmware expects.

People,

8 ms.- 5 ms.= 3 ms., does it matter in any practical sense?  I would really 
like to know who cares, and why?  Can anyone hear the difference? 
Three-thousanths of a second?  Not my old brain.
