[Elecraft] K2 Keying Weight (DOT) menu

[Pedro Correia]

Thank you for your rapid reply. I am not very good at morse code, just learn it. The audio morse tone locks good as the morse does. I will try to see it im my osciloscope, dot one square, dash three squares... at least this way I am able to see exactly what the menu is changing, afther all I don´t think it will need adjustment.

Shouldn't it be in a 1:1 default setting? I am used to a 1:1 ratio, for that the menu is 1.00 setting? Right? Does anybody knows why the default setting is 1.10?
