To improved sending accuracy, consider adding an optional "Auto-space"
ability, similar to the Idiom Press Logikey Function "A," to the keyer.

I prefer a rather low sidetone level. The problem is that the SPOT level
is then too low for zero beating with received signals. Consider adding
a SPOT level adjustment. Sometimes I prefer to use manual SPOT rather
then CWT. An implementation could be a SPOT DELTA LEVEL which is default
zero.
