Re: [TenTec] 6N2

[Dave Sublette <k4to@arrl.net>]

for the record...I did intend this to go to all.  I had a 6N2. I found 
the CW keying and SSB PTT arrangement very awkward, especially when 
using it as an IF rig for other transverters. I had many conversations 
with other users and they also found the arrangement very awkward. I 
talked to Ten Tec and they acknowledged that the arrangement was at 
least unique...if not awkward. I don't know if the keying circuit has 
ever been redesigned. I had to build a separate switch box to go from 
phone to CW. Fortunately, I was hit by lightning and the 6N2 totally 
destroyed. My insurance helped pay for another brand of rig. I doubt 
that I would ever use another 6N2 without the keying circuit being 
redesigned. The basic send and receive function of the radio was fine.
