Intuitive to Operate
The front panel is clearly labeled for radio functionality without having to cycle through submenus. Simple and straightforward design. The only drawback is there doesn't seem to be any programming software, at least that I can find. To use a paddle key you will need an electronic keyer connected between the radio CW input and your paddle key. For a straight key this is not necessary. Cosmetically, no Sharpie marks or other blemishes; perfect condition. KM7KK
