Cost of internal keyer

The negative impact on sales from a comment in a review like, "Great rig, but missing an internal keyer" would offset the tiny cost of including the keyer. Radios are built with features that people expect, and most hams do indeed expect a keyer these days. to not have one would indeed cost sales. Even among those who do not use the keyers to send Morse, the keyer function can be used to reduce the duty cycle when tuning an amplifier, which will stress the tubes less in the event of a bad initial setting. - 73 de Mike N3LI - |
