I find non-standard weighting not nearly as easy to copy - a different
accent as it were. Analogy: These Indians who seem to infest call centers
may be fluent in English but I might understand one word in ten. The
bastardized code may stand out - but in a negative way. Just like a tone
less than T-9. Yes, stands out from the masses, but hardly something to be
proud of. K3TX

I hate CW weighting other than the standard.
Some folks think off-standard gets them noticed.
It does by me.... to avoid that signal at all costs!

Did I hear this wrong? The Omni VII has an adjustable weight control on
the internal keyer?
Omni VI does not. I do not like the sound of the Omni VI internal keyer
cause the weight is wrong. Not sure of the reasoning behind it. DX
stations seams to like it, but never got any compliments on it. They do
like my AEA 25 year old keyer on how it sounds on the Omni VI plus on
received many nice compliments on how the CW sounds with the Omni VI
Plus, but I keep blowing pin diodes in the Omni when I use it.
Any one willing to work on my AEA keyer so it stops blowing the Omni VI
Pluss pin diodes from doing that?
Omni VI internal keyer is faster but in bad conditions the Di and the Dah
needs to be sent just a bit longer when sent at 25 WPM. easer to hear in
the noise.
Now if Ten-Tec can come up with an internal keyer that would work like my
AEA they would really have something. It would be just like the wonderful
audio circuits they have on the Omni VI to make it sound so good on SSB.
