[AMRadio] Bugged by CW?

[rbethman]

Fixing a SS rig like a TS-930SAT can be done, it is just a royal PITA!

The R-2000 *can* hear VERY well.  I found it took a "proper" alignment 
to resolve its deafness.
It just does NOT have a muting function that I can find.

However, I still prefer my DX-60 w/HG-10, and my SP-600 J11, (no X).

Working on my straight key.  Old Nye Viking circa 1980.  No bugs here.  
Have a Heathkit 1410 keyer, BUT, I hate it!  It will NOT stay adjusted.
