[ARC5] SG Keying of ARC-5 Tx

[K5MYJ]

The BC-375 was a LIASON SET!. It was made for CW and AM. But most service 
was done using CW. By a RADIO OPERATOR, not a pilot flying the aircraft.

The radio operators could use a bug if they wanted to but they had to 
furnish their own bug.

I like the irony. I run a 1942 BC-375-E in AM mode and this is a similar 
situation. 100W of reasonable CW, no sweat, but low-FM, easily copyable 
phone at 50W took me lotsa learning and fine tuning beyond what these ever 
got in actual use.

Cheers!
