I have the K1EL K42, Ed. Built it last Spring for
the fun of it as much as anything. It was a very
nice kt and the final product seems excellent.
This thread title has been making me chuckle a
bit: How often do hams ask for bugs in their
equipment? :-
So I have a weird sense of humor :-)

I received a K1EL K14 Keyer in the mail from
Joel, W4BBJ, who offered it to me when I
reported having trouble learning to use my
paddle with Iambic keying (using the k3 internal
keyer).
The K14 offers six keying modes:
1- Iambic-A
2- Iambic-B
3- Ultimatic
4- straight key
5- Dit priority
6- Dash priority
Not sure I would ever use the last two, but I am
eager to try out Ultimatic mode to see if it
feels more natural for me.
The plus is 12 programable messages, two
callsign memories, beacon mode, programmable
delays, message stacking, etc. etc. with no
computer. I'll be able to store five standard
eme messages with additional memory left.
I can see it running my 6m in beacon and my
10-GHz beacon with no extra hardware.
Big plus was the two radio connections so I can
have both my Bencher and straight key available
for either K3 or KX3 at the throw of a switch.
Loving it already ;-)
Thanks to Joel for the nice offer - and it looks
quite nicely assembled!
