Iambic Keying - Debunking the Myth....
Bill,
Whether or not Iambic mode allows faster keying, the fact is that many
operators learned using keyers that function this way. So we would be
remiss in not supporting it. (The first time I designed a keyer -- the
Wilderness Radio KC1 -- it started out as mode A only. I was flayed by
hordes of mode B fans, so I added it. It's been there in every keyer
I've created since.)
Anyone who finds Iambic keying a distraction should use mode A, which
is "less Iambic" than mode B, in that it is far less likely to insert
elements that you don't want. You can also use a single-lever paddle,
which completely eliminates the possibility of squeezing :)
As I mentioned earlier, we'll eventually provide a way to turn off the
dot/dash memories, too.
