Does anyone have experience in using a hamstick dipole with the 897? I'm looking at purchasing a 24' painter's pole from Home Depot, and clamping Lakeview's...
I'd like to know how you came up with that 10ms figure to stop the TX relay chatter... I use a Bencher Iambic with the internal keyer and I have to set 024-CW...
doesn't the 897 have a manual transmit switch? a couple of my older rigs that also had break in keying would use a vox delay turned to one position - and they...
