Well I have received 5 fast reply's to my questions so it looks like it
will be MicroKeyer II. I forgot about reading that there was a DVK in
this model. I use to do a lot of SSB contesting but got away from it
about 10 years ago. I was invited to do FD this year at W0GG's place
behind Pikes Peak and I had a blast work SSB runs but was always
thinking I should of had a DVK. I want to thank everyone who responded,
4 indicating MicroKeyerII, in helping me make the right decision.
Now I get to go and tell the wife how much the unit cost and she usually
will go threw the roof, but this time she will just go threw the hole
she made when I ordered the FT 5000.....
