Your CW TX. Do you by chirpy mean that the tone of the DAH raises/gets lower towards the end of the sign but if you keep the key pressed a couple of sexonds, sending a continuous tone, will it then stabilize? Or does it keep going all over the place also on a prolonged tone?

The PRC-320 doesn’t sound ”pretty” on the first sign when starting a TX. But If you keep up the transmission and keep up a speed which doesn’t let it to back to RX, then it should sound ok. What you describe sounds more like not staying on frequency than just chirping to me. Does it behave the same on both low and hifh power?
