Perhaps a look at the January 2004 issue of QST might prove
interesting. Specifically, the article starting on page 36 titled
"Remote Your Morse Key Using an RF Link."

No idea what the range is. It is IR so probably <100'.
I don't see a big need just to replace the cable either, but it could be
handy to be able to communicate with multiple rigs using the same paddle or

The EPA QRP Club will hold our first Polar Bear Moonlight Madness Event

Here's a commercial version of a wireless keyer.

Hi,
I bought yesterday 2 solar flexible power panel form ICP Global
Technologies... 1 of 5W and 1 of 20W both give me 13.8V with 1.5 A
of power at full sun, but they are also very efficient on cloudy day.
These power panel was first developped for military uses.
See their web site...

Hello fellow Elecrafters:
Here’s an idea that I've been thinking about for a while, but don't have the
technical expertise to implement.
I would like to build a wireless paddle. I've noticed that Microsoft and Compaq
have both recently come out with small wireless mice for laptops. They cost

Darrell,
Either a plastic or metal enclosure would work just fine - no need for
shielding (a balun should be self shielding), and there should be little if
any effects from metal at a reasonable distance (1/2 inch or so) from the
wires.
If it were my choice, I would prefer plastic since it is eas
I would like to mount a BL1 in a weatherproof enclosure in a permanent
location near the feedpoint of my antenna.
What type of case would be recommended? Should metal be used for shielding or
does it interfere with the balun? What material and size is best?

I know some of you have used Motorola amplified speakers.I have one
and the one thing is not clear. Two of the wires are referred to as
"audio up" and "audio down". The remaining 3 wires are for power supply
and squelch..not sure how the two audio wires and "squelch" would
get connected
That's exactly the way I use my keyer..never really got the
hang of iambic! (old dogs and new tricks??) I find it to
work perfectly well!

Mike,
I bought the K2 used and it came with an Heil hand mike.
While reviewing the BUXCOMM site for other options, I saw they had a
cable for SCG and Ten Tec gear but not Elecraft. I now understand
that's probably because there are various ways to configure the mic
connector and Elecraft has
Another solution for getting Ultimatic keying "inside" a K2 would be the PK4
keyer from Jackson Harbor Press. It's very small, only 1" x 1.5". Jackson
Harbor's contest keyer, the Island Keyer II, also supports Ultimatic. Both of
these keyers are available directly from Jackson Harbor Press at
An excellent primer to iambic keying titled "The Iambic Gambit" by AA5Q ended
by frustration with iambic keying. The article appeared on page 52, July
1981 QST.
This article allowed me to master the iambic keyer at our local ham club
station and I quickly bought a keyer for the home station.
The difference between iambic and Ultimatic keying is that when you hold
down both paddles, the Ultimatic keyer sends a series of elements
corresponding to the last paddle closed instead of sending alternate dits
and dashes as an iambic keyer would. For example, the sequence L on, R on
would cause
What features does Ultimatic Keying have? And what keyers offer it?

This from an OHR ad:
"Ultimatic is a pre-iambic keying mode in which the result of a squeeze is
that the keyer will switch to the last lever pressed rather than alternating
dits and dah
A very long time ago I suggested to Elecraft that an "Ultimatic" option would
be nice, and anyway the iambic mode is a dogs' breakfast to actually use.
Iambic keying only exists because of designer laziness; it was the easy way
out with flip flop circuitry.

I saw your post about wanting a 160/80 meter KX-1. At first glance it seems
that a 2 band KX-1 with antenna tuner option could be modified as it is being
built to operate on 80 and 160 meters. Since no 30 meter board would be
