A change of one WPM is like a tenth of a db.
I like to set my speed to 28 to start and tend to return to that from faster
or slower speeds. But getting set on 28 wpm to start is just one ALT-S at
the beginning. It's not like TR only sends 25,28,31,34, etc and the other
values can't be had.
Usually when I need the pgup/pgdn speed change, I need to drop drastically,
like from 28 down to something like 16, just for one QSO. I would sure
rather hit pgdn four times instead twelve. If I'm at 35, I'll hit ALT-S 16
<enter>. It's faster. I can then hit ALT-S 35, and hit <enter> just as it
program sends "TU", so the call is back at normal speed.
Also, if I asked you to QRS and you drop 1 WPM, I probably will think you
ignored me.
In your post you indicated that your preference didn't have anything to do
with operating techniques. If you're not operating while using TR, what are
you using it for?
I don't get it at all, Mark. What am I missing?

Both went on to talk about their operating techniques. This was not my
intent.
I am sure we all have our things we like and things we don't like. What may
be
important to me may not be important to you. More to the point - does
anyone
else think TRlog would be improved if this variable were user-definable like
so
many other things are (many of which are of little or no value to me
personally)?
The question was "is this easy?" If it is easy I would encourage Tree to do
it.
If it is hard I would understand why he would not want to. Of course, the
default should remain 3WPM and the change would be transparent.
I change my sending speed frequently and the technique has served me well.
I
would find more resolution in step size useful. Would anyone else?
