    odd - why do you have music if we are supposed to hear how well a speaker works?!

    Yes, you need to be able to decode CW with your ears, if you can‘t, why not learn it ? I think it is good that there are no subtitles, it forces you to use your ears rather than your eyes like it should be. If I was able to learn CW, so can you. 73!

    This was a good kit - I wish I hadn't sold mine! Only problem I found was that on some bands, it wasn't possible to reach the regeneration point (known as "reaction dead spots"), perhaps due to quirks of the antenna system in use.

    Hmm, not sure why transmission ended in the middle of the sentence. Only learned CW less than 2 months ago. Thanks for the fun practice. Had to backtrack to keep up, even writing it out (not head copy). SPACE IS ALREADY CROWDED, BUT NOW THERE ARE AT LEAST 1,500 TRACKABLE FRAGMENTS AND, POSSIBLY, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF SMALLER, YET STILL THREATENING, PIECES OF DEBRIS IN LOW EARTH ORBIT, BANKSTON SAID. WHILE SPACE STATIONS HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO MOVE OUT OF THE WAY, WITH SUFFICIENT NOTICE, MOST SATELLITES IN LOW EARTH ORBIT, INCLUDING THOSE DESIGNED, BUILT, LAUNCHED, AND OPERATED BY AMSAT, DO NOT. AS SUCH, THEY BT END OF 13 WPM TEXT BT QST DE W1AM AS

    Sir, do you think an N.O.S. IC-750A from the late 80's never touched inside and never been used and in good working condition still last for how many more years in your honest opinion? Someone is selling his for around $430. I'm not really fond of modern radios and I am contemplating wether to buy it or not. Thank you.

  • @NG9D

    Francisco, if “it has never been used” how could it be proven to be “in good working condition?” I would be skeptical, unless you personally know the seller.. 73. Lynn MG9D

    Nice.... Unfortunately, I failed my morse code test back in the day when my brother and I were interested in shortwave commutations, after which I lost interest. The problem I had was I was a terrible speller (still am to a degree), as you know part of reading code is comprehension or interpretation of words as there are being coded, at least that's what my brother told me he did when taking the test, he pasted and had many years of enjoyment in the field.... I simply lost interest because of my failure.... I know it shows a weakness of caricature but in my defeness, it was my brothers desire more than mine.

    Hi Dave, yes it’s a T1056 board in a RadioShack case. You can use the speed control in the KZread toolbar to slow the code if you like. 73 Lynn MG9D
