Has anyone on the forum used the RCI-2950DX in the cw mode? I realize that the radio has that mode thrown in as an afterthought, but I am using it on cw.
On the positive side, I notice that there was an attempt by the designers to narrow the bandpass of the receiver in that mode. You can hear the difference in the rcv audio when you switch from lsb to cw.
The negative for me is that besides the normal sidetone you hear when keying, you also hear an annoying "thump" from the speaker with every keydown/keyup. It's really aggravating to listen to this during a QSO. I understand that the radio is listed as being "semi-break-in" for the cw mode.
Has anyone using this radio for cw noticed this? Anyone care to suggest a fix to eliminate the thumping so only the sidetone can be heard?
