But even the "Curtis-like" keyers using the SAME mode (a or b) have slight

differences. Believe me, I'm always trying to simplify my station, but I am

True, but this wasn't about those keyers. It was about the variations in the
logic used in modern iambic keyers with dot and dash memories. And even
those variations didn't become an issue until keyers were built into rigs.
Fortunately, virtually all keyers today use one of two basic logic modes, s
Heck, keyers went way back into the late 40's, if I recall correctly..
I played around with a two 12au7 HB tube keyer in 1960. The tubes
worked fine but the output keying relay was a real problem. One had to
adjust contact spacing and spring tension on the relay to get it to
work. It really

Hi all.
I started to learn on a PicoKeyer and now that I got the K1 I am finishing
my learning on that. I am hoping that the keyer in the K3 is some what the
same as the K1 so when I get the K3 there won't be all that much of a
difference. Does anyone know if they are similar? I am hoping it would
OK, made a QSO after switching to mode B and it's perfect. Tnx all.
Still working my way through the manual and have a long way to go. Of
course I had to try the radio before reading it :.)

That's certainly the thing to do, Barry, but most operators have found the
Elecraft keyers work FB once they figure out which mode they already know
;-)
I built an Accukeyer back in the 70's and used it until I got the K2 and had
to go through the same process. But the K2 and K3 keyers work FB for

I agree with the comment about Iambic A vs B option. I really
couldn't stand the keyer (at first) until I swapped from A to B (or
was it from B to A?). Now, smooth as silk and nothing is every
missed. Of course, that was years ago now (one of my K3s is first

Hmmm ... I'm a 99% CW operator and I find the K3's built-in keyer to
be excellent, free of misfires and glitches for the most part. I'd use
one of my fine external keyers if there was a need, but there's not.
Over the years I've used the Accu-Keyer, the AEA Contester, and the
Super CMOS II,
