RE: [drakelist] Touch Paddle Electronic Keyers....
Philip, The website says their model P1W, with built in keyer, will only key positive voltage transistorized transceivers. However, if you already have a keyer that works with your Drake, you should be able to use their model P1PADW paddles with your keyer. This model acts as paddles only and not a keyer. As for reviews, their website has a link to eHam for user reviews of their products. I'd like to try one myself. 73 de Mike, N9BOR A-1, FISTS, JARL A-1, SMC http://www.n9bor.us http://www.n9bor.us/ http://www.k9ya.org http://www.k9ya.org/ di dah dit - The only Roger Beep you'll ever need.

Re: [drakelist] Touch Paddle Electronic Keyers....
I believe the manual for the keyers can be downloaded from their website - that should address the voltage/current limits and then you'll able to tell whether or not it's safe to use with the Drakes. The issue with these keyers is not their quality or endurance, but rather your ability to adapt to the keyer. I got to the point with one where I could send fairly well, but it was then very difficult to move back and forth between the touch paddle and a normal paddle. If you decided to never again use a regular paddle, perhaps you could adapt to the touch keyer and do well with it. I ended up selling mine. 73, K8AC - Original Message - From: Philip Grocki To: drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Monday, July 28, 2008 3:54 PM Subject: [drakelist] Touch Paddle Electronic Keyers Does anyone know if the TouchPaddle.com keyers will work with Drake tube transceivers?

I find the faster you send, the easier (and more fun) it is to use. The darn things are just perfect sending machines.
