So George, to try and sum up what your saying, the Pro II is 'the very
best radio ever produced' as long as you ONLY use it on SSB?
Otherwise,
after you spend a couple of thousand dollars to purchase a Pro II,
it's
up to the user to make external adjustments to have a Pro II to send
CW
correctly?
Really?
Of course not! That is a ridiculous statement on the face of it.
By the way, the keying wave shape nor the delay in producing and RF
output does NOT come from the IF DSP chain. It primarily is a result
of
the time it takes for the phase lock loop to lock.
That is included in the overall 10-msec delay. I wasn't aware that
your are so intimately familiar with the operation of the PRO2 . . .
Also, the BEST CW radio is the IC-781 ($7000) and the Ten Tec Corsair
II
(about $600). That is, if you want to run CW over 30 wpm.
What are the significant differences in the cw operation of the 781
and the PRO2?
Whatever your pleasure, Tom . . . whatever your opinion . . . just
stay happy and hold good thoughts.
