I believe they did, Mike.
Their very first radio was dedicated and optimized for CW.
They've been doing that ever since, with SSB/RTTY/FM, etc., being
oh-by-the-way-we-can-throw-this-in-too-without-impacting-cw performance.
Right now, their best CW optimized rig is the Omni VI+. It just happens to
also have SSB, FM and FSK modes, too, should they be needed.
