To all who sofar have replied, both on and off list: Thanks for the inputs,
much appreciated.
Keith: Until very recently that was exactly my own stance (would go QRT if I
could no longer do CW). However the probability of loosing my eyesight has
changed that somewhat. Thanks for the information on audio quality when
listening to WWVH, to know that the audio of the basic kit on SSB is not the
same as when using the dedicated kit is important.
Gary: yes without the microphone connector it would look strange. I am a strong
believer of doing a single thing and be good at it rather than trying to be a
Jack of all trades and excell in nothing.
If I was to cover up the hole it needs to be done in a meaningful and visually
pleasing way. Perhaps use the space for something else. One thing I have been
thinking about is making a label with the "Fists" logo on it and sticking that
over it, hi hi. In any case I would get a spare front just in case I needed to
revert.
Although I have completed the noise blanker and the control board I am not in a
hurry to make a decision. I am waiting for the rework eliminator kit to arrive
and that gives me a bit of time to ponder over this.
