[CW] Yet MORE on rigs..

[ve1ex@ve3kyz.ampr.org]

 I have only owned 1 ten tec in my ham career and that was a century 21.
 I keyed it with a straight key so you could hardly call that  very fast.
 The C21 had some power supply problems that always came back after repair.
   I had a ts440 which worked well and seemed to have a good receiver in
   it, the only problem was the dot syndrome which kept coming back in spite
   of all the repairs to fix it.

  My FT-900 has had some minor repairs after owning it 6 years or so, it
  has full qsk as some one noted, and is a great rig. Just wish I had gotten
  the narrow cw filtre for it when I bought it.  They are unavailable now.

  My favourite rig so far is the Icom IC 706 Mk ii.  Yes there is some
  relay noise, but it does not bother me. I normally use head phones
  when operating cw so perhaps that is why I do not notice it.  I was smart
  enough to get the 250 hz cw filtre with the rig and I really like that
  feature.

  I have yet to experience some of the more expensive rigs that people are
  talking about here in this thread, so cannot comment on them except to say
  that I have heard a lot of FT 1000's  on the air and they sound good.
