Bill, I for one have to disagree with you on the CW sideband item. From day one of my hamming days, I have always wanted CW to tune so the higher pitches were higher in frequency than lower pitched signals (blame that on my early elmer). So I have come to relate the audio pitch to the relative frequency - which means LSB CW for all bands.
Yes, I know SSB is different, but SSB is different than CW. 73, Don W3FPR Bill W5WVO wrote: > I have discovered one "gotcha" in my workaround, and that is the inability to > lock the "B" VFO knob -- the KNOB, not the VFO -- because if you accidentally > touch it, you lose the 700 Hz offset.
