Absolutely! Sometimes these things defy logical ( no pun intended!)
explanation, and one can only describe the "feel" of things. This is where a
dyed in the wool CW operator can influence the design of a keyer, which
otherwise, and to the design engineer, seems a simple straightforward task.
With respect to Wayne ( very much the same for N1MM in his excellent emerging
prog.), he probably doesn't appreciate the subtle nuances of design from the
operator's pov.
Of course I ( and other WL users for the most part), am stuck with what we've
got for the present, but let's hope we might exert an influence on future
design. Tom/N1MM does a first class job in listening to his users, hope the
same will be true for WL. For the present I have taken the easy way out, and
ordered a new Bencher single lever paddle to replace my ageing Vibro device.
