Our club is considering the purchase of a '751A to replace our aging
TS-830.  Primary use will be general operating and contesting.

I realize that there are better rigs out there, but this one meets our
budget constraints.  Oh yeah, 99.9% of our contesting is on cw.
We plan on purchasing the FL-52A 500 Hz filter for the 2nd if.  What is
it's cw transmit offset?  Is it changeable?  Comments especially desired
on this rig's performance in this mode.

How about the receiver?  Any funky quirks that we should be aware of?
Is the AT-150 outboard autotuner worth the approximately 400 bucks that
the dealers are asking?

Any comments, opinions, love/hate, etc. on the 751A or accessories?

Many thanks in advance.

73,
