Hi Pat,
I think that if "to one needs an answer to a question we should try to answer it. Someday you might have a question you need help with too.
If you read all of the posts you would see that someone else didn't know how a rig they purchased was set up until they tried to use CW at a Field Day.
I think you are a little bit out of line. Person'y, I would hate to ask you a question.
I am not technical at all and even though I have been an Amatur Radio Operator for 20 years I wouldn't have known the answer to that question.
To be fair though I do not use my Vox or operate on CW.
However, I am very active in traffic handling, NCS for Ares and Skywarn, Operate as NCS for a Traffic Net on HF Phone and am a Net Manager for a Local Ares Traffic Net.
We all have different abilities.
