we used to have a MCW net on 146.535 MHz simplex here.=0D

I have the page scanned around here somewhere.=0D

Will find it and pass it along.=0D

It is designed for keying thru a 2.2K like the HTX-202s or ICOMs=0D

A very nice sentiment David and by the way I enjoyed our QSO on 80m even
though the condx were tough--read abysmal. Lord, I wish I could switch to
different keys/bugs with the ease that you can, but I "cut my teeth" year=
s
ago on a straight key and went directly from there to a Bencher/electroni=
c
keyer.=0D

In any case, here's a question for the group. Has anybody ever put togeth=
er
a keying device for MCW on 2m or UHF for that matter? I have a couple of
schematics for such but have never actually taken the time to build one. =
Its
too bad that MFJ or some other specialty company doesn't market a nice ne=
at
ready to go package but then perhaps the market is too small------but as
they say "if you build it they will come"........=0D
