The whole enchilada. Have voice keyer, will contest. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
Got a little RF problem to figure out before I can use the Carolina Windom. Got some RF getting into the rigblaster that doesn't happen on the vertical. Choke on the feedline and toroids on the audio lines should fix it.
