Thank you very much for your videos. I am learning CW and it is very useful for me to listen and see the subtitles.
It's great

It was good to get the QCX-mini back out in the field, it has been a few months since I last used it for a park activation. Thanks Ron for your feedback, 73

Hi Jame VK2TER, always great to get you in the log ..... 73 Garry Vk2GAZ

Thanks Garry, good to get you in the log again. Sounds like you were using a straight key too, we could have exchanged SKCC numbers, 73

Nice! I love featuring the QCX on my channel too. I'm a cootie guy :-)

[@vk2ter]

Thank you Steve, I really enjoy using the QCX-mini, it is a great little radio. I am looking at buying a cootie and start practicing with it. Any good recommendations for someone who has never used a cootie before? 73

James check the link : Yaesu FT-710 AESS - Very Tight CW Filtering may help.

[@vk2ter]

Thank you for the link Dennis, some good advice on narrow CW filtering on the FT-710. I will have to update the firmware over the weekend and see what improvements Yaesu have made, 73

[@havefun2952]

I am learning the code and enjoy your videos very much. I am thinking of buying this straight key too. Is its jack a stereo jack?

[@vk2ter]

Thank you for watching the videos, I hope they help with your CW practice. Yes the BaMaKey EHT-II straight key has a 3.5mm stereo plug, 73

@@havefun2952 It is a nice key, I am sure you will like it. The small size is great for portable operations, can take a little bit of practice to get used to it, 73

Good morning James, how was the fit for QCX on AGC ? All sounds great. thank you for video on CW. de Dennis vk4oc 73 ..

[@vk2ter]

Thanks Dennis, I still haven’t installed the AGC units into my QCX-minis. I am hoping to find some time over the new year break. The QCX seemed to handle the range of signals without too many issues. The bands were flat but QSB wasn’t too bad, 73
