I have suggested it before and feel that all electronic keys should
have an 'Iambic OFF' mode in addition to the A and B modes. I have

ever conciously use the

What I found confusing is the lack of Official designation of what
constitutes Iambic A or B or in other rigs Iambic 1 or 2. There should be
some standardization. With some manufacturers Iambic A is Iambic 2 with

Mike,
I fully agree with you - mode B still baffles me and causes the infrequent
error. At least with mode A when I press the paddle I'll know what I'll get.
The K-2 has mode A, which is a lifesaver in the pileup. When chasing DX you
don't need the extra character as that is the time
Mike and all,
I have given up on the internal rig keyers already. I have finally
assembled my K1EL K12 keyer that I hope will solve my problems - and it is

I have no idea, before I read about A and B, what
everyone is talking
Oh NO - there is yet a 3rd one - the 'ultimatic'!!! (and maybe there is a
4th and 5th as well).
As I said, I will just get used to my own keyer and be done with it. What
is 'better' is a matter of individual tastes, prior experience, and just
plain old 'my method is best' - Decide what you are
