Bob -
These keyers are designed and built, I think, in Slovenia.
The only way to get them is through their US distributor
via Internet.
http://www.microham.com/
Their web site is most informative and Joe, the ham
who runs the US operation, is most helpful if you have questions.
The keyer is not available as a kit. If you want to build
a good keyer kit, get an Idiom Press CMOS-4.
The advantage of the microHAM unit is that it is
bullet-proof in high RF fields, which I frequently
find myself in when operating non-resonant
antennas in the car and during portable operations.
Also the microHAM attaches to the USB port
of your laptop and allows data transfer from the
K2 RS-232 and the computer for logging purposes.
With the new computers coming out without
RS-232 ports, it allows a USB port to key your
K2 (or whatever radio). This is important to
me when I do my mini-DXpeditions in the Caribbean.
I have my logging program send the repetitive parts
of exchanges when in pile-ups and I'm the DX.
One disadvantage of the microHAM keyer is that
it's set up functions (weighting, etc.) and memories
are available only if it's attached to a computer.
If RF feedback is not an issue, and it isn't for most
hams with well earth-grounded stations, and when
you are not trying to key the radio with a computer,
the LogiKit CMOS-4 would still be my first pick.
