Well, this topic has migrated from requests for my kind of keyer to
a comparision of the various types (including words such as relic).
For the life of me, I can't see the practical difference. I
understand the difference, but comparing iambic to utlimatic, I see
essentially the same number of
Doug,
I agree. Perhaps it's as simple as we all think the
format we've learned is the best. In the end it makes
little difference.
There would be little reason for me to learn a new
method only to save a few slight finger movements.
And I'm a serious contester where time spent counts.
KR2Q:
Am I missing something? Please enlighten me...I am always anxious to learn!
Take a clue from the High Speed Telegraphy contests.
Most use single paddle keys (i.e. non-iambic of any form).
The supposed advantages of iambic keying are a complete
myth based on sending performance
It's not the reduction in finger movement that is at stake here,
rather what the keying mode does when you let up on a
closure.

Doug and all,
For me, the number of finger movements is not relevant, it is the timing
and coordination that I have the most trouble with. Iambic A with a
single lever paddle helps a lot, but good ones are either difficult to
find or more expensive than suits my taste. I can handle
OK folks - no one has chastised me for it yet, but I obviously do not
know morse code!!
P is not .._ _ .., but ._ _ . I don't know where that particular code
thought came from, but the principle remains the same, so I hope my
example is more accurate than the code translation.
