The QSK in the Pegasus and Jupiter is the best I have ever heard. It beats
all the previous tentec transceivers. It is so good, sometimes, I have to
look at the power supply current to make sure I am transmitting.
When you are hearing a lot of noise, it is only becasue the band is busy
with lots
of signals and you are hearing them in between the dits and dahs.
