[1000mp] FH-1 Remote Control Keypad

[Norm Fusaro]

Hi Randy.
I have the FH-1 and it is a piece of crap.  It has become finicky at
programming and it loses some of the memory at times.  I am not a big CW op
and just use it for contests but I wanted to keep the FH-1 around for the
quick DX contact but the 2 logging programs I use satify that requirement.
LOGic and Writelog both have memory keyers that hold more info than the
FH-1.  I just use the FH-1 to key the rig to tune the amp.
