PARIS Word Length: By convention among CW and
Amateur operators (utilized by ARRL and others), the
length of one "word" of CW is defined as the length of
the Morse Code characters spelling the word "PARIS".
This character (dot/dash/space) length is used for the
specific definition of code speed in "words per minute".

You must exercise care in sending to ensure that the
spaces between letters and words are accurately done; if
your timing is off, the spacing may not come out right
in the stored message. For ease in setting up the keyer
memories, we recommend you set Menu item "017 F
KEYER TYPE" and/or "019 R KEYER TYPE" to "ACS"
(Automatic Character Spacing) while you are program-
ming the keyer memories.
