[Icom] QSK w/756Pro??

Tue, 02 Jul 2002 23:03:40 -0400

Send a string of dits. I mean, it is not a very loud relay...but then again,
it is not tough to hear.
I always thought QSK was annoying. Cuz the noise between my sending would
throw off my concentration.
I then tried QSK with my little Elecraft K1.
I love it!
I think what always bothered me about QSK was actually the relay
clicking....not the in-between noise!!

By the way.... The relay that turns on the radio of my alarm clock wakes me
up in the morning before the radio starts playing.....So, I am sure this is
all my fault!!!
