Another minor quibble - I take it by that you mean all *US* amateurs..? That would be correct. Sometimes I/we forget that this is an international group. Sorry about that. Anyhow, the point is that there are a lot of Amateurs who might not be expected to know that there is a Keyer or even a Key jack on an HF radio because they wouldn't be expected to - 73 de Mike N3LI - |

No problem :-) : Anyhow, the point is that there are a lot of Amateurs who : might not be expected to know that there is a Keyer or : even a Key jack on an HF radio because they wouldn't be : expected to. But I rather think those who do expect it would be rather annoyed if it wasn't there. The question is what percentage of amateurs is that overall in the market for HF radios..? Personally I've never been interested in CW but it would be rather nice if a radio I bought had the facility, just in case. Particularly if the additional cost was negligible. 73 Ivor G6URP |
