All good. What I'm referring to is packet-generated characters while using
*paddles*.  Instead of dit and dah elements, the keyer interprets paddle
closure and creates an ASCII or similar character.  

For example, the worst-case character delay when using this mode is the
number zero (0).  The character isn't sent until the last "dah" element is
formed and the dah paddle is released.  One may think this creates a huge
timing problem on the air, but it really doesn't in actual practice.  

To the best of my knowledge this mode of character forming was first used by
Ten Tec in the Omni VI, then adopted by K1EL in his WinkeyerUSB device.
