Hi Mike,
I'm sure my comments are loaded with a good dose of prejudice,
but I think of my OMNI 6+ as exactly the radio you are speaking of with USB LSB
FSK and FM all thrown in for good measure.

Probably not what you had in mind, but I also have the Century 21,
Century 22, both CW only but not nearly the radio the OMNI is
of course.

Can't tell from your message if you already have TT equipment or not but if you
do not and are looking for something special on CW,  suggest you might want to
check out the OMNI C, Corsair II, Triton or the OMNI 5 and OMNI 6...all great CW
rigs.

Just my two cents worth.  AND, I'm not sure just how much less dollars an only
CW transceiver would cost...probably wouldn't be much of a differenct to throw
in the other goodies.

73 and Happy and Healthy New Year to ALL
Tony, W4FOA
