[Elecraft] Keyer weighting

[Ralph Parker]

With all due respect to Tom (he's been on the air two years longer than I :-)
that's exactly my point - 'weight' and 'ratio' are two different things!!!
My weight is set to 52%, my ratio is set to 3:1.

>Then if someone ask you to change your weight to the 'heavy side',
>you could then comply with that persons wishes?
I'm going to start using "QCW?" at the beginning of my QSOs -
"How would you like me to set my keyer?"

>...anything other than the standard 3/1 and you were sending at over 50 wpm,
>not too many folks could copy you...
That's probably true, but my ratio IS 3:1.
I agree that too heavy a weight would be hard to copy at that speed.
