Don and all, I kind of do the same thing. I have an Idiom Press K3 keyer that I use for both my HF rigs. I modified the jacks on the back of the keyer to accept cables from both rigs (+ and - keying jacks) and added a small toggle switch on the front of the keyer to allow selection of either rig. I find I just didn't like the built in keyers from either rig, K2 or FT-1000MP. They're good but just different enough that I wasn't comfortable. After all the emails today concerning mode A vs B I tried them both using the keyer built into the K2. Forget A. What a mess I was making. B was much better but still a little different than the feel I get from the K3 keyer. I learned on B and that's that. Anyhow, I forget who started this topic, but just pick one mode, practice a lot and have fun.

I have finally assembled my K1EL K12 keyer that I hope will solve my problems - and it is small enough that I can carry it with me to key any transceiver no matter what the transceiver manufacturer thinks is the 'best'. Certainly solves MY problem ... others can go on discussing the pros and cons, but I will be able to become acoustomed to my keyer characteristics and will not have to work around the subtle timing differences of the various internal keyers. YMMV. 73, Don W3FPR _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list. Subscriber Info (Addr.
