[TenTec] Another reason for PTT CW

[Rick Westerman]

Lee, just out of curiosity, how would you want to activate the
PTT?

I have to admit, though I use QSK when Dxing and near-QSK when
contesting, I prefer to squelch it all during casual QSOs.

By the way, the reason for only near-QSK in contests is to save
wear and tear on the amp's relay.

Hi Guys,
I like the fact that TT (Thanks Scott!) has excellant QSK.

HOWEVER, I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO HAVE THE OPTION OF PTT, BECAUSE, I
HATE TO HEAR
ALL OF THE DARN BAND NOISE (OR JUST THE RX COMING ON) IN BETWEEN
WORDS!

Doesn't anyone else care about that?

Yes, I have the QSK delay up to 100%, but it still isn't alwaya
long enough
to prevent the RX from coming on. AND even if it was a little
longer ( Easy for
them to do?) then when you are ready for RX you have to wait for
the QSK
delay to timeout.

This of course has nothing to do with linears or PC's or
contesting.
JUST TO ENJOY CW QSO's

I just did some CW work this AM, the QSK is very irritating to
me.

Scott, is it really that hard to offer the choice of PTT or QSK?

Am I the only one that is concerned about this?

Thanks Guys, Learning a lot here.

Lee, KC9CDT ( WA8OJC when 16)
