This trainer is a small personal project designed to play
with learning morse code through the Farnsworth method.
The main difference between this trainer and others is that I
am experimenting with visual reinforcement by displaying the
character currently being sent. It is my hope that this will
help form a stronger link between the sound of CW
and the meaning of the sound.

Elements (Speed)
Sets the speed used for the spacing of dits and dahs
within each individual character. It is suggested that you
not put this below 20WPM.
Farnsworth (Speed)
Sets the speed that will be used for spacing inbetween
each character. Start slow, and gradually increase the
Farnsworth speed until you have difficulty copying.
Display
There are three possible options for display mode.
Immediate: The character is displayed during
the transmission of the character only, but hidden
as soon as the character has been transmitted.
Lingering: The character is displayed during
the transmission of the character, but will hang around
until the next character is transmitted.
Delayed: The character will be displayed
starting immediately after the character has
been sent.
