[Elecraft] OT: Other Radios

[K9ZTV]

You’re a victim of a run-on sentence.  He meant the rig has a built-in microphone and a keyer paddle which is attachable (not “built-in”).

Where he came up with “lightly salted snow” I haven’t a clue, but it’s the quote of the year in my opinion.

73.5 also bears scrutiny. 

73,
