[TenTec] Pegasus/Jupiter keying - In search of Perfect CW :-)

[George, W5YR]

An example of the effect of "soft" keying can be found in the CW ID used by
most PSK31 programs. They use the same raised-cosine function to on/off key
the carrier as used in the phase shifting. I find that the resulting CW is
excessively soft and unpleasant to listen to, although most stations are
"readable" with that envelope at the relatively slow speed normally used -
about 15 wpm.
