I asked a question about the audio "pop" that occurs in cw when T-R is set to 0 (QSK), I discovered a 1993 thread that discussed lowering a resistance value. Two questions for those who have done it. First how effective was it? Meaning at what speed could you still hear between character elements ( dots and dashes - the subatomic particles of cw). And did it have a deleterious effect on your transmit key form? Also after you did the mod did it eliminate the pop, or just reduce it. The reason I ask is today I was chasing an A71 and the EU wall was up in full force. At a T-R setting of .01 I couldn't tell when he started to transmit. I'd say I was running about 30wpm. I ended up transfering the flag to the 756Pro where I was able to achieve full break in. And no, with the EU wall up I knew I had a snowballs chance of working him. Fun trying just the same.
