CTR2-Mini+ device for iCW etc.
KU7Q sells a device that is like a KPOD on steroids (and works with Kenwood, Icom, Yaesus, and Flexe) for half the price. He recently revised his keyer code and increased the max speed to 99. That feature can be used by current owners by uploading the latest firmware. He also just tested a Hy-Per-Mite filter on the sidetone output for use with iCW or any other CW over the internet.He is considering adding the filter as an option on his next run of boards if there is enough interest.

"Very good recording Chuck. If Jerry would have been just a bit louder it would have been perfect! "
"That is an amazing program. "
"You're amazing Chuck. The bible is hard enough to "copy" reading it. It's very hard to copy even at 60 with all the unfamiliar words. At 99 all I could catch was enough to know it was the Bible :-)"
"Fun to go back and listen to these Q's again. Thanks Chuck."

Internet access struggle
It's been a long hard road but I finally have net access good enough to do iCW. I live in a very rural area in the middle of about 60k acres of woods. Satellite internet just doesn't make it for iCW. Finally got a cell booster and found out 750 MHZ RF does NOT like trees. The system came with a 4 element yagi. Tried several different spots, not consistent enough. Now I've got an 8 element up around 70 ft. in a tree that has a somewhat clearer shot to the tower and it's working reasonably…
