A good presentation do not worry about C.W. It will improve as time goes on. The good point you learned C.W. Well done.

[@bazfletcher1812]

The S metreon the rig seems to have stuck on seven???

[@Martin_Lynch]

This happens when the RF gain is used. Give it a try on your own radio!

[@frankmurphy7269]

Thanks for the video! But your reception disappointed me, a lot of noise and so quiet on the band. The part where I live has much better reception, so I am a lucky guy! 73's Gerard PA2PGU

Your CW isn't the greatest. Mine's zero, must learn some day.
