OPERATOR, CONSIDER THAT MOST AVERAGE SKILLED PEOPLE TYPE 190 200 LETTERS
PER MINUTE OR 38 40 WORDS PER MINUTE.  HUNT AND PECK TYPISTS, REMEMBER YOU
WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TRANSMIT ANY FASTER THAN YOU CAN TYPE THE INSTRUCTION
BOOK SPECIFES THE CW READER AS DSP BASED AND OPERATING OVER THE RANGE OF 7
60 WPM.  MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE K45 WAS POSITIVE MY QTH IS ABOUT 50 MILES
FROM W1AW.  THEREFORE, ON 80 METERS AND SOMETIMES 10 METERS, W1AW WAS SOLID
AND ERROR FREE, AS THOUGH I WAS IN THE W1AW SHACK IN NEWINGTON,
CONNECTICUT.  HOWEVER, AS EXPECTED, UNDER POOR CONDITIONS AND HIGH NOISE,
THE READER PUT OUT SOME RANDOM LETTERS.  OFTEN THE FIRST LETTER OF A STRING
OF LETTERS IS INCORRECT, AS ANY CW READER WILL NOT BE SYNCHRONIZED TO THE
INCOMING DOTS AND DASHES.  ONE OPERATOR I COPIED HAD WHAT USED TO BE CALLED
A MISSOURI SWING, AND TO MY SURPRISE THE CW READER DID VERY WELL BETTER
THAN I COULD, CERTAINLY.  WHAT IS DIFFERENT FROM SOME OTHER CW READERS IS
THE INSTANTANEOUS CONTROL YOU HAVE.  THE CTRL AND ALT KEYS ARE USED TO MAKE
CHANGES AS YOU LISTEN AND COPY CTRL LEFT AND RIGHT ARROWS AUDIO GAIN
ADJUSTMENT.  I SET MY RIGS AUDIO OUTPUT TO 80 AND TRIMMED THE AUDIO LEVEL
