This is highly subjective either way, so if you find a setting that works for you just stick with it.

I use 12/18 for relearning Morse code 24 years later myself. (I use Just Learn Morse Code whenever I can find the time - currently I spend most of my hobby hours working on the next version.) 73 de LB3KB, Sigurd http://justlearnmorsecode.com |

Morse code learning software
Thanks for all the advice. Will work harder once the Midwest winter
sets in and the summer hobbies go on the back burner. My wife won't let me spraypaint in the garage after I poofed the cars.
