[Augie Hansen]

Hi Jon,

Your review of radios you have used is appreciated. I'd welcome additional
detail regarding your CW comments:

I have the IC-775DSP and the FT-1000MP plus a number of other rigs including
an Elecraft K2. I have been using mostly SSB of late. However, I'm returning
to CW ops and want to settle on the best rig for that purpose. So why is the
MP your favorite and what makes the 775 a poor CW rig? Did you do anything
about the key clicks that the MP is noted for?

Thanks in advance,
Gus Hansen / KB0YH
