I have a K1, K2, K3 and TS-480SAT. I always use the internal keyers in them and find no issues with the way they key, Elecraft and Kenwood internal keyers seem very similar to me. I use Iambic B with a weight of 1 (from the K3 menu in front of me). The only radios that I've had an issue with were the FT-857D which lacks a decent internal keyer and a TS-570 which had a keyer timing issue - Kenwood knew about the 570 keying issue for some time prior to mine being manufactured but still produced defective radios needing a return to the importer to have it updated...
I use a Palm Mini paddle for portable operating and used their Code Cube keyer with the FT-857D, however the Code Cube is not used, or needed, with my current Elecraft or TS-480 radios. 73 Dave, G4AON <SNIP> Is this just a matter of different operators having different keyer preferences, or is there something unusual about the Kenwood internal keyer?
