[Boatanchors] Ranger1 w/ keyer? (part-2)

[Rob Atkinson]

Harmonics are certainly an issue if they are detectable at a distance
especially via skywave and worst of all, not in a ham band.

The EFJ switch (I have never owned one) runs hot I'm told, and it also
doesn't cover 160 m. while the Ranger 1 does.  But that last part may
not be a deal breaker for some operators.
