Outdoor QRP with a Penntek transceiver.
Fine! 73

I am really enjoying using the TR-45L, it is a great QRP radio for operating portable, 73

James, I'm going to Hawaii next week. Hope to operate 0400 UTC on Thursday or Friday. 20m. CW primarily. If you have time (and hear me) give a shout. TNX for another nice activation. 73 de David AE4LH

Thanks David, I will listen out for you, it would be great to have a CW contact. I am working on the Thursday so I will hopefully catch you on Friday. Will you put up any alerts or spots (SOTA, POTA or WWFF)? Enjoy your holiday in Hawaii, 73

Best way to learn code, thanks James DE NN2X / Tom

Yes agreed listening to QSOs (mistakes and all) is a great way to learn. Thanks Tom for the comments, 73

Oh, thank you!
Very like how looks and works this rig :-)
Wish to purchase this rig in EU.

The TR-45L is a great radio. I purchased the version with an internal battery and z-match tuner. I really enjoy using this radio for portable (WWFF/SOTA) activations, 73

Thank you.
Yes, it looks great for portable operations.
But having analogue s-meter is awesome feature personally for me.

[@vk2ter]

@rst5nn Yes agreed, I like the analogue s-meter. I also like that all functions are accessed using the switches and dials, there are no menus and sub-menus to navigate, 73
