[CW] Re: QSK?

Good question and I don't understand it either. I always use QSK and like
being able to interrupt when there is a necessity. It makes for better
conversation in my opinion.

I have had Ten-Tec rigs and agree they have great QSK. But so had my
TS-570DG, IC-746 and now my IC-756PRO. The relay in my Ten-Tec Centaur
amplifier is kind of loud but has great QSK and I like the sounds of the
clicks.
