The 8 pin screw connector finally arrived, so last weekend I took some time to assemble the 4 remaining PCB’s I had left of this V1.00 board.
On Sunday, I tested these PCBs during the Coupe Du REF CW contest. And although I made the external keyboard to control the keyer, I mainly used the up and down buttons to surf the band. So I only had to make a small movement with my wrist from my CW paddle to the keyboard, and not a big swing to the VFO of the IC-7300, which is placed a bit further on my desk.
