As you probably know, Jim, audio tone injection was the commercial standard more than 50 years ago. Collins made great commercial multi-channel multi-tone HF rigs and they saw no reason to change a winning design. CW is a single-channel single-channel application, trivial by commercial standards. With their commercial gear as the cash cow, why change a winner? -- 73 de K2ASP - Phil Kane Elecraft K2/100 s/n 5402 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
