Yes, but hadn't gotten around to it. The bottom line is everyone loves it,
particularly on CW, except one op who hated it but didn't say why. The
only thing everyone found to criticize was the lack of a "clear" control
for the RIT. There are mods available for the lack of a receive antenna
input. The IRC filters got high marks, though some folks liked the stock
cascaded Kenwoods too. No serial numbers were flagged as being problems.
Sounds like a real deal for the CW contest-minded.
Thanks to all who responded.
