[CQ-Contest] SS phone requires little skill?

[Rex Maner]

Joe

I know where you come from,  I was a bit up-set when I bought my TS 870 and 
the widest the passband for CW is 1000hz,  I had a hard time getting use to 
that tite passband.

The Rx I used as a novice , I tuned the total 80 M novice band with the BFO 
knob.
