Actually most radios do work that way. Take a look at the CW RF
pictures in QST. There are two traces in the scope pictures. One
shows key closure and the other shows RF waveform. Most show the RF
waveform runs behind the key closure by around 15 msec and is not
shortened.
You're right, Carl. And Bob and Rick. The funny thing is that I used to
think that was how they worked, but I was told by someone who I thought
should have known that I was wrong, and I believed him!
Anyway, a good discussion, and I learned something. BTW -- I just
exchanged email with Wayne Burdick, designer of the Elecraft rigs, and
he confirmed that his rigs work that way too. He also told me that the
jitter in the delay can cause it to not sound good at 100 wpm. I assured
him that I'd never get there. :) I contest at 28-33, the brain reads it,
but the computer sends it. My fist, which used to be pretty good, is now
pretty sad.
