Reading a bit further in the review on the FT-5000 they mention noticeable
noise of a relay clicking during CW QSK operation (probably the antenna
changeover relay).
I can't imagine paying $5K for a radio that produces noticeable clicks on
CW/QSK.
And to think I paid less than half of that for my K3/100 that is absolutely
silent during CW QSK operation.
Guess Yaesu doesn't design antenna switching networks using PIN diodes..... I
wonder who got the design right??? (grin).
Back to my silent CW/QSK on my lowly K3.
