Hello, Fifty years ago I designed and built a tube keyer to replace my Vibroplex. Then a transistor keyer. All this before the iambic keyers came along ...
Left paddle = dots Right = dashes Squeeze both paddles = dashes only. The technique I developed was to 1. Always squeeze _both_ keys for dashes; if I was a bit late getting the dash paddle closed, the logic turned the dot into a dash (as long as the dot hadn't finished, of course.) 2. If dots followed dashes, just simply let loose of the right paddle. 3. A string of dots would turn into dashes simply by squeezing both paddles together. I could send good CW at fairly-respectable speeds, and was happy. For decades ... until I got the K2 and the K3. Then I tried to get the hang of iambic keying, and the best I can do is slap-keying or stagger along at 10 wpm or slower iambic. Questions: 1. Is there a way to kludge the K2 or K3 keying logic for squeeze keying? 2. Does anyone make a keyer with my logic? WHO? All I've ever seen are iambic. 3. If neither, and I wind up building my new keyer myself, is this something anybody else would want? Cheers, Alan Alan D.
