Is the manual incorrect on the menu mode for Iambic? It lists Iambic A as
being the easier to operate. I believe it should state Iambic B.

Either statement would be wrong to some fists. Use the one you learned. If
you are learning, I suggest B. Others might suggest A. Good luck!

Rule of thumb...if you expect no more dits after you let go of
the paddle,
use mode A..
If you like having a dit added because you held onto the dah paddle a bit
too long use
Southpaw means Left Handed (That's the hand to use, well, never mind).
B'er means I send iambic mode B. I can't make A work at all. It leaves out
elements I intend. I don't know what all the fuss about extra dits from
the dah paddle is all about. The timing is simply different for completing
what
Well, that isn't iambic, so maybe it won't matter. You should try squeeze
keying some time. Dial it back to 9 wpm and really pay attention to what
it's doing while you try to minimize what you are doing with your fingers.
You'll send faster, and with less fatigue. Also, the key will stay in one

That's not how a K is sent. A K is a dah with a dit-insert. I think the
fru-fru _MAY_ be that it's difficult to slap the key to B, but you can to A.
However, if you are squeeze keying, either will work - AFTER you learn the
timing.
Mode A K:
dah: DAAH

as easy as sending with other electronic keyers that I was already
used to.

Dan is right...it now comes down to personal touch. K can be squeezed
(both paddles held and let go at the 2nd dash) or dit-inserted (while
