All videos I’ve seen that demonstrate CW mode are revealing a poor wave shape in the side tone. Very disturbing clicks on make and break. I’ve also seen reference to the FT10 (not sure of exact model code) having the same problem and some have been on-sold within months of purchase. .
It would drive me nuts. I do have reduced high frequency hearing due to age, but anyone of tender years (below 60?) would find it difficult to use.
Not something I would have expected. The 817 is much better designed.
