It seems to me that there are several different requirements for a transmitter for 136 kHz, depending upon what any individual needs. Being able to generate 1 kW is not always necessary. One thing that struck me about this unit is that the power level can be varied over a considerable range. When setting up an antenna and its connection to the feed line, it is very useful to start with low power (hence low voltage) so as not to stress the various components unnecessarily. One thing I like about this unit is that it can be used for ordinary hand-sent CW. Presumably QRSS would not be a problem. Also, can this rig be used for some of the more sophisticated modes? I do not think I have a complete set of the e-mails of this thread. Please will someone enlighten me. Thanks. 73 John Rabson F5VLF 58800 Cervon France JN17vg
