True, though I do like my PD-1 (or whatever it is. The little
black box with the wallwart, anyway), because it's Dead Simple.
Even so, I grew up and got into radio just as SSB was taking
off (1960-62), and had to learn to do it the hard way on sets
about as stable as the second hand on my wall clock. It's doable,
but it's not all that easy.

What differences between the old and the new servers are causing
you difficulties? If you'll articulate them, it's possible that
they can be fixed, or that one or more of us can provide a work-
around. There aren't so many of us that we can afford to chase
someone off, troop!
