Tom,
I heard you say on the 20 meter net that prior to this recent
discussion you were not aware of the cw auto tune in the 590. I think
you still have a 480 in the RV. You may or may not be aware that cw
auto tune is also on the 480. Just to the right of the number pad are 4
keys in a diamond pattern for setting NR, filters, etc. The bottom of
these 4 keys is the cw auto tune.
Thanks to posts from Lloyd, Ed, and Steve, I now have some idea of the
cw reverse stuff. Never had the slightest idea what it was there for.
