?Ham radio is supposed to be a gentleman's hobby. I sometimes call CQ CQ CQ de AG8K AR PSE K. If you look into an old issue of the ARRL handbook you will find this as a recommendation. I bet the Chinese rig beats the heck out of the Ten Tec QRP kit that requires coil winding, coil squeezing, so forth to get it to cover one band and not even full band coverage at that.

Hank,
And others reading the QST review:   AS they mention, the rig was
designed and programmed and built in CHINA, and as they comment, its CW
memory string was from a culture who use a polite form of expressions.
Thus PSE K is a culturally logical way for the programmer to have
expressed the CQ message.
