Even a stock Orion is still well ahead of modified MP's and the $80 Inrad #762 puts it even farther ahead. That's just the facts, ma'am. Subjective or objective? OK, Bill ... using your 'facts' ... f

Which is the speed needed to reach those key clicks with the keyer ??? I can hear no clicks at all into my sidetone when using my G4ZPY straight key ! With the iambic vibroplex, I did not test it yet
Perhaps someone has some measurements. But from experience on SSB , a 1.8Khz roofing filter combined with tight DSP filtering makes a difference that you won't find at several times the price, no ma

Billy, the fundamental difference is that the FT-1000s have had this key click for nearly 15 years. The cure has been known for many years, and they haven't addressed this issue to this day! It's an

I'll provide a real but subjective result I've heard. For the CQ WW SSB contest I spent a few hours at a major local contester's shack running his 1000MP's (or MkV's - not sure which) and was very su

I did the "JI" mod to my FT-1000D. It cured my clicks and destroyed my QSK. I'm not that big on QSK and I am interested in a clean signal, so I left it modded, but the point is that the FT-1000D was
Hi Bill Thanks for the head's up last night on N2XE/B Copied him great, using my Orion pre amp off, and an 80M zepp at 30'and 6db of attenuation Here's a note from N2XE w/the next Challenge: Hello Ja
Any speed will do. Listen on another RX, not sidetone. 73, Sinisa YT1NT, VE3EA _______________________________________________ TenTec mailing list TenTec@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/ma
I can hear no clicks at all into my sidetone when using my G4ZPY straight key ! Listen on another RX, not sidetone. Yes. In many (perhaps most) rigs the side tone has very little relation to the actu
Yes, you're right... the sidetone is not the transmitted signal ! I tried this with a friend of mine this morning, he didn't notice anything strange in the CW enveloppe. Now, he was listening to me w
I tried this with a friend of mine this morning, he didn't notice anything strange in the CW enveloppe. Now, he was listening to me with an SGC 2020 with ADSP2 and a Yaesu FT-7B ! :-) Of course these
could be annoying for the others, so I'll do the mod as soon as I possibly can. Eric, this is exactly the problem with many MP owners. The clicks don't bother them, so they never "get around to it" t
