What service!  Posted a question and get a reply from the designer in 11 
minutes.  Can't beat that.

Yes my ATU is Rev C, and K1 RF Rev E, and once again, it's operator error 
on my part,
or a typical case of not being able to see the trees for the forest.

It's late.  I'm tired.

Thanks for realigning me.

Wayne, this little rig is fantastic.  Ten years ago I dreamed of building a 
compact rig with features such as digital display, great CW performance, 
internal keyer, etc. all in a well machined enclosure, but I didn't have 
the time, expertise, and many other things.  You've done it.  I've owned 
piles of radios in the past and this has to be one of the best so far (if 
not the).  It's all the basics I need in a nice package, and options such 
as the internal battery kit will let me easily take it into the car where I 
can enjoy 40m CW RX (no desire to TX from the car now) without messing 
around with drilling through fire walls, coupling to noisy alternators, etc.

Thank you!

(no, no need to improve the note -- again, operator error!)
