Don't be fooled by the W5XD+ keyer and PTT. I love to
run the radio without CW VOX. That's the reason for PTT,
right? Fast T/R turnaround without dropping out between
words/characters or the need for a QSK amplifier.
The PTT works great for this.
But if you want to send something with the paddles,
forget it. The PTT does NOT work. You have to hit the
VOX switch on the radio and then send your message.
So the built-in keyer and PTT are, in a sense,
mutually exclusive. :-(
