Hi Paul,

That is correct.

Decoding from Morse sent via the internal keyer was pretty easy, since  
the KX1 itself determines the length of dots/dashes/spaces in that  
case. We would like to have included message entry via a hand key or  
external keyer, but we sorta used up all the code space ;)
