I am sure this is going to lead to several different opinions, but what is considered the best CW contesting radio on the market today? I know at one time it was Ten-Tecs, at the TS930/TS940s were fo
John, I have a 1000MP (since 1993)and still use it as my second radio in SO2R. I have an Elecraft K3 with all the new boards and whistles and that does me just fine. But, if you are looking for top s
Hi, There is a clear, undisputed winner ! TS590. Cost per deciBel performance is in its own category. Some may suggest more expensive alternatives. They all have the good, the bad and the back pocket
Maybe as a top of best CW contest rig priority, please consider 'clean CW' without clicking. 73 Jon NN5T _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.
The FT-1000D and FT-1000D have good receivers, but have terrible key clicks. The W8JI mod helps, but they are still pretty bad. 73, Scott K9MA -- Scott Ellington -- via iPad _________________________

You really have to consider the 6600 from FlexRadio (even the 6400 for a single op - you can't do full SO2R, but you can do a great SO2V). Full SO2R built in. - works with N1MM OTRSP built in - N1MM
It's worth pointing out that Mike, VA3MW is an employee of Flex Radio Systems. Marty NN1C _______________________________________________ CQ-Contest mailing list CQ-Contest@contesting.com http://list
As a contester, my current favorite is the FTDX-9000D, and FTDX-5000D probably its equal. Setting up the 2nd radio for dabbling with SO2R. I still have a K3, mainly for FD and forages to V2, and a IC
Yes, I do work for them. Not a big secret (actually, no secret at all) But, long before that, I used the hardware for my contest station. And, I continue to do so. I am a ham first, but I have to mak
I had two FTdx-9000D rigs in my shack in May 2019 when a lightning strike destroyed both units. I sent one back to Yaesu in California to declare it officially dead for insurance claim purposes. Oddl
I do like my flex for CW, but it takes getting used to for someone who has used a conventional rig. The output is pretty clean though I wish they would do adaptive predistortion. CWX is also nice to
I will second Mikes suggestion regarding ing the Flex 6000 series. I traded my FT-dx5000 in for a 6600M and its great. You can see the signals all around you on the panadapter and you can see visuall
Can somebody build a radio with an internal keyer with Auto Correct? That would be good. If somebody can sell snake oil software that "decodes" signals that don't exist, surely some other genius coul
Bravo Ria! This is the best! LOL "Most hams I gather wont even have normal hearing anyway." LOL! Hear, Hear! During weak signal work VHF/UHF SSB: "What's your friggin Grid!" Lot of us sure miss that!
A year ago, I switched my 7610 with 890. 7610 band scope is sooooo good, I can read CW without tuning. Assisted without Skimmer, hi ? Jon NN5T I had two FTdx-9000D rigs in my shack in May 2019 when a
Actually, the encode/decode algorithms used for modes like FT8 are pretty close to AI in principle, in that the decode process applies statistical probabilities to the various bits based upon a known
I was referring to human-generated Morse code. You know, using an electronic keyer that makes a string of dits or dahs, that the "operator" moves a single-pole, double-throw switch, called a "paddle.
Yes, I assumed that was the case, Jim. But if you're shooting for the purity and sanctity of human-sent CW I don't understand why AI error correction would any less impure than the other means you m
