Interesting notion. CW is alive and well, and still a significant portion
of HF activity. Yet most (overseas) manufacturers would assume that most
amateurs have little or no interest in it?
IF that assertion is more-or-less true, it really makes you wonder about
many of the marketing decisions being made overseas on behalf of amateurs
worldwide. After all, one would think that before marketing to amateurs,
one would try and research what they would buy... wouldn't one?

My guess is that most other manufacturers assume that the vast majority
of hams have no interest in cw.
