wotkx,you are right. if I'd tried it I wouldn't had to ask.
I have one more question.I am learning code and want to buy a cheap CW 40 meter transeiver(if there is such a thing)Looking at catalogs I see the term side tone.Can someone tell me what that means?
Also anything else I need to watch for.
And thanks to all for your replies to my last no such thing as a dumb question.
