Chuck, Your testing is *exactly* what TX TEST is supposed to accomplish. Those with VHF sequencers have an even more complex set of conditions that can be tested and affirmed "good" or "bad" with TX TEST.
The fact that RF is not generated makes it also useful for things like setting your keying speed without bothering other hams, but that is a secondary consideration - it just "works", but of course, the relays will click in the process unless other measures are taken. 73, Don W3FPR On 3/11/2011 9:28 PM, W5UXH wrote: > Actually there is a situation where it is very desirable for me.
