I gang,
I picked up a SW 40+ with a keyer and  nice reduction drive for the cost of 
the kit.
I understand it was built by  Chuck Adams.
RX is fine and I had a solid copy on N0UR calling CQ.QRP
I  cannot check the power because I don't have the BNC to SO-239 adapter but 
I did  use a 50 ohm resistor,the long one that looks like it's made of sand 
stone,rated  at 10 watts.
It did get warm after a 2 minute key down so i'm sure the TX is  fine.
My real concern is I can hear the CW note on the FT 897-D but as I tune  down 
I hear just a hash but it get more quite as I tune down and is still there  
at the bottom of the band
10-KC either side of the frequency I can hear key  clicks on the 897 even 
with the CW filter kicked in.
I did the same test with  the MFJ 20 meter rig and it was clean.
I have no papers so can someone point  me in the direction where to look?
Thanks
BOB
