Thanks guys... actually I have yet to do any CW on the air just yet... still learning the alphabet and numbers...

I was asking because I wondered whether I would be seeing the noise issue when I start making QSOs and, if so, thought it would be good to plan ahead, instead of waiting until then to figure it out.

Thus, it sounds like I need to learn how to run and adjust the QSK circuit. There is a local contester who has both the Omni VI and VII in his shack and does a lot of CW ... and he seems quite friendly on the air. I will have to take him to lunch...

Thanks for the uptake. I figure it will be hard enough making mh first CW contacts, so I want to resolve the hardware setup and technique ahead of that.

Sounds like a relay but even so, shouldn't make a "racket".


 I have the keying cable to
the Centurion and also the "IN" and "OUT" which is for QSK.

Good luck, I'd check the relay. Also, you don't need the amp if you are practicing.
