[ICOM] Want Icom R8500

[Malcolm Ringel]

BTW, yes, I did buy the 775 and really like it. It is so "retro" in so many 
ways, particularly for me, as I haven't had a BIG radio since my FT1000D 
some 8-10 years ago.
Q on 775: I use a bug-style keyer, IOW, push left on keyer paddle gives 
steady unbroken "dah" and push right gives "dits" of variable lengths, 
speed, etc.
All of my recent radios Icom & Yaesu have had an internal menu setting in 
the keyer sub-menu which, for example in my PROIII and PROII I think it 
actually says "bug".
I cannot find it in the 775 or any specific reference to it in the manual. 
Can you help ??? Can any list member help ?
Thanks
Malcolm, K3KZ
