But it worked ok

Welp, that's the second *OK*......and if I were fixing to get it and I
heard
what I heard at R&L and then two back to back "OK's"....I wouldn't buy it.

You can
get em pretty cheap at swaps and on Ebay $25-50. Make sure it has the
software with it.

BUT - this part is better. For something just *OK*......you pay just an OK
price. Actually $50.00 IMO is too much for something to be OK.

Then you have to worry about software with it, has it been dinged up etc.
etc.

I'll tell him what I think, he's a big boy, he can do what he wants. I'd
pay
fifty if I absolutely KNEW without a doubt that the software works just
like it
was supposed to and the decoder itself did also. Other than that, it's not
worth IMO, I think MFJ gives you 30 days to check it out.

Thanks

Hi Dan. Like someone else said. No reader does great with cw. I've never
used any of the expensive programs like Hoka though. Maybe? they do. I use
the Universal and info tech units and they don't copy everything but usually
enough that I can make out the gest of whats being sent. I don't remember
the MFJ being worse and the Universal unit is probably the best you can get
in a box. Your not going to be out much with the MFJ $wise. You milage may
vary type of deal?
