I found it good in the following situations: 1) When doing hunt&pounce and trying to bust a pileup, QSK lets me hear when the station calling answers somebody else, and so I don't waste time or add to the QRM, I just stop sending. With two VFOs, I'll leave one VFO on the pileup and use the other to seek new ones. 2) If I'm holding a frequency and a big gun plops down nearby, I know it right away and don't waste time trying to fight him. 73 de Jim, N2EY ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com. _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
