POTA activation with truSDX on SSB & CW

Except for the popping sound made at the beginning of each Morse character sent, I'm quite happy with the rig, given the price paid for it. More details here:

My experience with the (tr)uSDX is that it's fine to speak normally while sitting at a desk with the radio sitting on the desktop (12 inches or so away). The little microphone is sensitive enough to pick up one's voice from that distance. Also, there is less "popping" when keying on CW if you widen the bandwidth wider than 500 Hz (unfortunately, the next choice up is 1800 Hz).
