Thanks Carl........your opinions are welcome here. I don't do any
contesting, only a occasional rag chew.
I have a nice TS 830S for that. I'm leaning toward a 340, would you know if
the 340 has selectable
sideband AM sync or if the PBT works in AM? Does your fantastic software
work for the 340?
Many Thanks & 73
Bill
