[John Farler]

Funny thing about the Drake TR-7...I was looking one over
the year they came out at the Dayton Hamvention, and asked
the rep from Drake why no QSK?  His reply was that it was 
too expensive to implement.

About the next year or two they came out with the TR-5,
which sold for much less, with... you guessed it, QSK.
