Hi Ron

The old Collins KWS-1 sent CW in this manner.  Always sounded 
good.  I use the same technique with my Flex-1500.  I spend most of 
my time on either CW or Digital (PSK these days) and rag chewing my 
preference.  I am an old CW hand but I was never in love with sending 
CW ... but love copying it hi hi.  I use MixW and simply switch from 
PSK to CW and leave PowerSDR in DGU mode.  I have asked many 
operators at the other end to check my signal for problems of any 
kind and have never had a report of signal that wasn't clean and easy 
to copy.  It makes operating so simple and it certainly gives the guy 
at the other end a break hi.
