Bruce, Is this the K3NG keyer or another one? Do you have references to what you built including the diagram and code for the Arduino?

Hello Jim, The internal keyer works okay up till about 25 WPM and then the delay is too much for me. I spend most of my time at 36 wpm or faster, so I had to go external. I build Homebrew Keyer using Arduino based Microprocessor. In addition to accommodating any kind of paddle, it also has 4 canned CW messages for calling CQ or answering DX, giving reports, just push a button. Its speed ranges from 5 to 70 WPM. It also works great for Remote or beacon use. It has many other features as well. I have sold them to friends for $36.00. Nothing fancy, just works great and solves the Flex CW problem. Oh yes it works both Iambic or normal. Again the internal FLEX keyer works fair and if you like it, then you should stick with that. I hope this helps. 73, Bruce, W8HW, w...@comcast.net -----Original Message----- From: Ed Wilson Sent: Sunday, October 06, 2013 3:52 PM To: audio...@q.com ; flexRadio@flex-radio.biz Subject: Re: [Flexradio] External keyer recommendations for 5K ? Jim, Give the 5K a try without an external keyer...the internal one works great for me, although I am now letting the 5K gather dust as I use the internal keyer on the 6700.

Haven't tinkered with CW much in the last 30 years or so, so I thought I'd buy a paddle and see what comes of it. I've read that hooking a paddle directly to the 5K can be a trying experience, so can anyone recommend an external keyer that works well between (for example) a Bencher paddle and the 5K? I have other rigs that are probably more plug-and-play, but since I use the 5K more than the rest combined, I'd like to give it a try first.
