I use a Kenwood 570, it has QSK, u can hear the relay a bit but I like the
sound of the relay clicking, reminds me of old HF transmitters, they made a
lot of noise...it seems to work very well at my speeds of around 30 wpm...

I wish everyone would use QSK, its kind of boring to just sit and listen to
someone for about 5 mins, then send back for 5 minutes trying to remember
what the other op was saying... what if the phone rings or nature calls?? or
QRM etc ..  XYL interruptions (QRM 5)      QSK is a lot of fun...

I wonder why more ops dont use QSK???
