I've nothing to add to the FT5K - O2 roofing filter discussion, but
currently have an O2 which replaced an FT5K I had for a short time. If
you're a CW operator contemplating an FT5K replacement for your O2, you
really need to look closely at the transmit side of things. The issue is
with the CW keying waveforms and timing - don't make any judgements by
just listening to the FT5K sidetone. That bears little relationship to
what's going out the coax. Instead, listen to the output on another
receiver. No need to go into detail here, but you might be amazed at
what you hear. The O2 wins hands down on a transmit comparison.
