> 
> The CW interface plugs into your 144/440 MHz handheld

> plug in your key.  Get your ham buddies together on-the-air
> and enjoy some fantastic CW fun.  Run a little code practice
> on your repeater.  Start your own FM CW Net.  Have fun and
> upgrade!  A transmit/receive switch automatically switches
