By the way, I've been using my Triton IV at my South Florida location for
the past several months. I absolutely love this radio. The QSK is now
better than ever with N4LQ's side tone mod, output power is stable,
extremely low noise receiver, zero drift, all in a small no-nonsense desktop
pakage. I am surprised at how well the audio filter performs within the AGC
loop. In its tightest setting, the Triton has very good selectivity, and
seemingly as good as a crystal I.F. filter and exhibits no sign of ringing.
I am (reluctantly) using a new Astron 25-amp switching supply and the two
seem to be meant for each other. I only wish that it was produced after the
WARC bands were established. I am also using the Triton with a PK-3 micro
keyer chip from Jackson Harbor Press. It's pin-fo-pin compatible with the
Embedded Research TiCK, but offers many more features for half the price of
the TiCK.
