Works perfectly, and you can customise it as you wish.

2008/4/24 Niel Skousen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
there was a small pcb based training keyer kit, manhatten style,
several
years ago. Had a tick based keyer, a small piezo spkr, a single
switch, and
couple resistors. The paddles and everything was built from the
raw PCB
materials.
took about 20 min or so to make, and as I recall was $12 or so...
Anybody remember a link to it ? is it still available ? Vaguely
seems it
was a Norcal project kit for the Az hamfest. Doug Hendricks may
remember
better that I.
Should fit the bill perfectly.

Yes, it would. Some have discovered how much easier it is to use the
iambic feature to insert an element into a string of another element.
How much is the black widow kit? I'm thinking it's like $30 or
something but I don't recall and haven't done the internet search.
I have never heard of it. I will go look for it.
When teaching my kids morse, I too found they had a much easier
time
with the paddles than the straight key. In fact, they were both
able to
learn iambic (squeeze) keying with less effort than learning the
straight key.
That is what I am finding as well. As a sometimes-musician I find
that I
personally have no problem with timing and rhythm with a straight
key but
most of the kids just aren't there.
