To All, I have started down a path that I thought was a simple task. I have not found that it has more twist and bends than a snake with an itch.
I am making 3d printable key for CW. I have found that there are more than 1 or two buttons. There are different adjustments and modes and mechanical tweeks that can be done. What I am trying to make is a 3d printable key that can be taken out into POTA, SOTA, and EM Comms. It will have minimal moving parts and nothing that flexes that can snap. It will be magnet based and wires will be copper plate covered to prevent damage as well as to be easily replaced in the field with a piece of tape.. What I am looking for is a Document, Pamphlet, or Book on these devices explaining the difference in types and settings that are associated with them. Example is explaining why Straight Key, Sideswiper, Single-Lever Paddle, Dual-Lever Paddle, or Semi-Automatic Key would be used and what settings are needed to make it a functional device. I also have realized that keys are kind of personal to each operator and was trying to figure out how deep it goes that operators customize the device. So thank you all in advance and hope to make a few for our members to try and have for out in our future operations and events. P.S. CW is not Dit and Dah -- a lot of "AH HA" in there too.. -- Richard Bonica C: 281.935.7222 Email: [email protected] Freq: 147.000 - DMR - Digital Mobile Territory: NE Fort Bend CERT, CST, EST, WEB EOC, HSEEP, FEMA PD, Wilderness First Aid, CPR, Extra Ameture Radio
