[OKDXA] 740

[John Geiger]

I think that is right about the Signal one.  The FT1 also had a built in keyer, but I think the 740 came out before it. I forgot about the 901/902 having a keyer.  For some reason they were never as popular as the TS830. Never sure why as they had more features-like the keyer, FM, memories, width control for all modes.
