Speed Button
The Speed button allows you to set the code speed in the range of 3 to 60 WPM.
Word-per-minute speed is based on the standard word "PARIS" which is 50
units in length. For standard timing, dot = 1 unit, dash = 3 units, intra-character
space = 1 unit, inter-character space = 3 units, and word space = 7 units. The
word "PARIS" is sent 10 times in one minute if the code speed is 10 WPM.
Press the Speed button to increase the code speed. Each button press increases
the code speed by one WPM and is confirmed with a beep.
