About UBNs, yes, but I'm not getting into that...
Anyway, while this is probably rare, don't discount the possibility
that your sending may have a problem, even if it is computer
generated. You could have a VOX pickup problem that may be changing
dahs to dits or dropping dits. At W4WA one year we had a problem
with a tuning network arcing that was doing something similar. And
I've heard other folks with similar problems.
FWIW,
