[TenTec] omni v short dits

[Steve N4LQ]

Keying compensation? Delay? Sounds like a line from the K3 manual. I suppose
if he had a  keyer he could crank up the weight  but I'm not sure the ole
boy owns one. He's a true, blue cw op! Bug only! BTW: That "keying
compensation" is just another weight control. The only difference in that
and a regular weight control on a Curtis keyer is the fact that it doesn't
affect the sidetone (which few people use anyway).
