HI John,
I'll be the first to admit that this is an emotional thing.

If I didn't already have the British made Radio Mate keypad and the John 
Hansen Millenium qsyer I'd never purchase such an intensely menu driven 
radio.

I'm still convinced that I'll be able to do qrp work frommy apartment.

And if I can get the various control software to work I could possibly enter 
memories and other things into the radio like PL tones.

The british keypad will let you enter up to 20 memories into an 817 but it 
has it's own memory scheme.

Apparently you can't enter memories with the Millenium keypad.

I'll keep everyone posted on how this goes.

I know there have been a few people on this list who have used the rig 
successfully with the Millenium keypad and the MP1 portable antenna.

73's,

Eric
