Flat out great CW....no frills??
I'd look for a Ten Tec OMNI V.
But, if you already have a IC756, why not make do with that?
Just jam it full of filters for CW.
The PRO, the ORION, a 1000D, all are nice rigs as well...but a lot of
money to spend for a bunch of features that may not interest you.

A few years ago, when I was really getting fired up for ham radio, I
bought
an IC756. Well, as time has passed I've settled in on what I really like.
I don't do contests, don't do SSB, no AM or FM, no RTTY, etc. I just do
CW.
Okay, not straight key, but I just like CW and mostly on either 20 or 15
meters.

I don't need memories or computer control or whatever. I'm just looking
for
the best rig for CW. I want something that will dig a signal out of the
QSB, QRN and QRM. I read a lot of guys raving about their QRP rigs but I
do
want something that'll run 100 watts.

Now, I'm not necessarily looking for an inexpensive rig. In fact, maybe
my
756 will do as good a job as any. If that's the case, tell me.

Suggestions please.... Thanks, Pete
