[What is CQ Parrot?]
Brief summary of its function.

Many CW operators prefer straight keys and bug keys because those keys are easier to express operators' keying individuality than a combination of an electric keyer and a paddle. However, have you ever got tired when you had no reply after calling CQ many times by straight keys or bug keys?

In such a case, CQ Parrot, which can reproduce your original keying by straight keys or bug keys, seems to be very useful and helpful.

CQ Parrot has two channels for your message recording. One of them records your message into EEPROM, thus the message never go out even though you turn off the main switch. One channel is capable of recording 250 strokes, approximately equal to 90 characters, which is long enough to reproduce your short message such as a call for CQ.
