Yea, I noticed that Orion is "eating" part of the dit, especially the first 
one. That's why I want PTT to be operational on CW, so we can use our own, 
computer controlled PTT and keying timing.

Now on K2 waveform, there seems to be a magic: dit is generated before the 
key is closed? Talking about "smart" rig? :-)
