[Elecraft] CW Transmit Text Decode is off

[Don Wilhelm]

Cliff,

The decoder demands precise timing of dits, dahs, and the spacing.
It sounds like your "L" being decoded as ED is a result of a slight 
pause between the leading dit and the following part of the dahs and 
ending dits.
Similarly, "R" coming out as ED is the same problem - a slight pause 
after the first dit.
