Hi Tony,

I see your problem. :)

The radios I suggested, the K3 and the TS590S, tested very clean for CW 
bandwidth. No radio tested beats the K3, and the TS590S was second best. 
k9yc.com/TXNoise.pdf compares ARRL test data.

The latest and greatest Flex 6000-series rigs tested badly for CW 
bandwidth, but they've issued new firmware that is said to improve it.

If you have the bucks, buy a minimal K3/100 and add to it. You're going 
to want the P3 eventually -- VERY useful for contesting (finding a run 
frequency) and DXing. Also great on 6M and VHF monitoring for band 
openings. AND it's a great test instrument -- 500x better frequency 
resolution than my $5k HP spectrum analyzer.

73, Jim K9YC
