[Elecraft] Farnsworth and EME

well - most built-in keyers have some way to adjust the sending - 
for example a "weight" control seems to be the very least that you find on almost every transceiver that features a keyer
and
this is a Wish List, after all

    So you send  around 15 WPM, trying to get a whole character through between fades. It becomes important to know if you have heard two characters, or one with a hole in the middle. Hence the use of exaggerated character spacing (a.k.a. Farnsworth).
  That's an interesting justification and I've learned something from reading it. But I think the question has to be asked as to why what is a pretty specialized requirement needs to be built into the K3 rather than performed by an external box or computer software. It seems to me a bit like asking if the K3 could have a built-in WSPR beacon mode. :)
