The problem I see with that is feedback. Having a speaker and a live mic in close proximity to each other is an invitation for serious feedback hum. Think of people that call in to radio programs, there are always a few that leave the radio on, and have to turn it down. Mike -Original

I agree. Most of the reviews are from SSB operators, and the complaints on filters are probably because they are not adjusted correctly. The problems listed are alignment issues. I use my K2 with a Heil HM-5, and get great audio reports with the standard SSB bandwidth. Mike AI4NS

The thing people forget is that YaeComWood, TenTec, etc have much deeper pockets and more resources. Borrowing a few million for them is no big deal, but a substantial risk for a company of Elecraft's size. If a product does not do well, there is less impact on the bottom line. The other companies

25W. There has been several discussions this week about PSK output. Since it is a keydown mode PSK can be thought of as AM mode as far as power ratings, and so 1/4 of your rated output should be the max. Mike AI4NS -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On
