Ron, the Begali CW Machine (size is about "one-half KX1") has a complete configuration menu which includes "Bug" emulation. Combined with one of Piero's lesser known (and less expensive) products, the HST, the result is a single key-paddle-keyer which gives its owner a superb single lever non-iambic paddle, a great electonic 'bug', an upscale sideswiper, and - if you simply lay it on it's left side - a very pleasant-to-use straight key. All in one. The HST weighs a ton and has robust construction. Travels well too as there's not a lot exposed to damage. Magnetic return on the current production model. Handles very close spacing for those so inclined. 73, Stan WB2LQF www.wb2lqf.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
