[Elecraft] K2 QQuestion on Options

[Sean Cavanaugh]

If you like ragchewing, you'll probably be disappointed in JT65. It's got 1 minute transmit, 1 minute receive cycles and it only can send 13 characters per over. 

Works great for EME and simple exchanges, but not conversing.  It was originally developed for EME and handles odd distortion like libration fading quite well. Also, it will decode signals you can't even hear.
