I would be interested in peoples experience with the K1EL keyer. I am interested in Ultimatic. I have not learned to use an Iambic mode, but I am getting to the point where it can make a difference in sending. I am seriously thinking about picking up a K1EL, but I know Ultimatic is on the list for K3 somewhere down the road. So I have been dragging my feet. Maybe some impressive stories will help me pony up the money and dig out the soldering iron. I really do need to get this place better organized.....
