Wasn't this problem fixed with the new synthesizer?

Looking at it yesterday on the scope, a string of dits was about 40%  duty 
cycle, or even as low as 33%, depending on how you score the rise and fall 
time.  I did the test at 22 wpm and 44 wpm, and results were the same.  Both 
speeds were corrected by using keying compensation = 6.

First I’ve heard about this, and I’ve used K3’s since they were introduced.
Can you provide some details on why and how much the keying is lightened?
