Amen to that. I did Tom's mod in the lab and it provided the perfect solution 
in terms of bandwidth reduction. However my QRQ buddies started to complain 
about my too soft keying claiming  my dots and dashes sounded like washed 
together. After listening to it on the air myself I removed the mod. I plan to 
revisit the issue and choose components to give somewhat steeper rise.
