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.
