Absolutely, Don!
My main message was to watch the baluns for heating. During a contest or a
long winded transmission, you can really screw up a nice ferrite balun
QUICKER than one thinks.

what the VSWR meter says between the tuner and the ferrite

Keep an eye out on the e=place!! Look for a Measurements Corporation
Model 111 crystal calibrator. They can be zeroed to WWV and stay within
just a few parts per million if kept on all the time. I have seen them
quite cheap at time there. Excellent little oscillator.

if say an 80-10 meter version would be possible with two piggy
back boards sacrificing the internal tuner space?

at any price.
I had a PRC-74 for a good while and finally sold it as there was no LSB.
Helluva a good working and very rugged radio.

I have a Palm mini paddle and it woprks great and has held up well. Mine
was a lot cheaper than $95! Guess I got it when the Euro hadn't gone up and
the Dollar hadn't plummetted! Seems like it was $65. Use it with the K1
and best tiny key I've used so far.

mites series (PM-1,

is the BEST QRP CW transceiver I have used so far.I have frequently used
it in the field and it has performed extremely well. Couldn't be more

contesting program won't make a good contester out of you. (In reality)

either join them or stay off the air. There seems to
be no place to go anymore on HF.
I don't think I will be even thinking of buying a K3 or especially an
IC-7700 unless I win the Lottery now. It's hard enough buying gasoline to
attend hamfests now.

I say steer clear of the Tyco/Amp product. The Anderson product much more
consistant and of better quality.
