Hello Jim,
I build my own (home brew) keyer that has the memory (for canned messages
etc.) that I want and several other features that I need as well. Works very
well. Hope that helps.

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?
Thanks & 73,

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.

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.

Subject: [Flexradio] External keyer recommendations for 5K ?
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.
Thanks,
Jim N7CXI
