I don't own one yet but gotta tell ya you are right about the chiming in part.

I joined this group to learn more about the rig and so far am kinda put off and 
hoping to hear of changes.

I am an avid CW OP and heard TEN TEC had it going on with CW but then joined 
only to be worried about the rig itself.

I think others are as well from what I have heard on other groups of other 
makes and models, so your idea about happy owners chiming
in, is a good one.

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
