         And what a pleasure to have a non-distorted tone (unlike the MP's
square wave)!  I can now zero-beat CW signals exactly like I could
with the TS-930.  A major irritation for the past 6 years is now gone...
not to mention the fact that the MP had a mysterious 70 Hz offset
between the spot frequency and the actual transmit frequency.  My only
regret is that TT limited the spot tone to 300 Hz, since I sometimes set
my TS-930S to <250 Hz for extremely weak signals.

                                                 73,  Bill  W4ZV
