K7DOC, et al, I agree with the above analysis especially with regard to how few of is actually engage in emergency prep exercises, let alone activate for a practiced event. I obviously prefer "free",

A good deal. Add a 5A buck converter for running the finals on 18-22 volts, and the shipping does not increase. Ted K3RTA

Mark, The easy way to adjust CW carrier out is to replace R104 with a 5k trim pot. I suppose you could put in a panel control if you want to. I suppose one could play around to get a range of zero to
