[NLRS] Working memory keyer for sale?

[Bruce Richardson]

I have used an XT-4 and like it. But....  It records to memory by 
chopping time slices while you're sending (loading) the message. I find 
that if I'm recording in the faster range, and then play it back, small 
flaws appear in what it sends back.  I find I get the truest fidelity if 
I record in the slowest mode and then speed it up to mid-range. Then any 
time slice issues are masked or at least not as objectionable.

Hope this helps!
