I have for trade a Wilderness Sierra in excellent condition with the
following options:

Buzznot noise blanker
All 9 band modules 160/80/40/30/20/17/15/12/10 meters
The 40/20/15/10 meter modules are built, the others are unbuilt as they came
Lots of cw operators here, so.
Excellent condition, very nice paddle, read the eHam reviews. I am used to a
wider spacing on the paddles and am too old to change. :)
Will sell for $195 plus shipping.

little higher output, say 4 watts?

Hi, John Dan.
I started out using a straight key about the same time Dan did, but I still
prefer using it over paddles. I never did get the hang of using a keyer much
past 15-20 WPM. With the straight key, I can still send at least as fast as I
can receive, about 25-30 WPM, and not get too

HI Tom,
Yes, I am aware of the ability to switch to Hand operation. This, however
is a pain in the butt, especially when operating mobile in motion. This is
one of my main types of operation, and I switch often between the hand key

Mine works fine. I don't remember the diodes I used, but they were tiny
(tiny enough to fit inside the sub-miniture jack) and work FB. I think it

it matters.
I use it both ways. I use the keyer to send when on
Jim,
I have also had that occasional problem, and it seems to happen more
frequently if the key contacts are dirty. Slip a piece of clean paper
between the contacts and close the key just enough to grip the paper gently
as you pull it through - the paper will burnish the contacts and the problem

Hi John!
In 1989 we started listening to tapes with speed from 8-15wpm.
After that programs was available for pc.
For me it didn't matter what I was using.
When I went to bed I used tapes while falling asleep to have the rythm in
the ear.
Copying cw is like training for a marathon.

If Sverre's solution to the problem (Schottky diodes) is the answer, then
the 1N5711 should work nicely... and they are pretty easy to find... even
if you order them from Elecraft.

While we're on the subject, there are occasionally reports of a reverse
glitch too. That is, when sending with paddles using the internal keyer in
Iambic mode, instead of getting the expected alternating dit-dah (or
dah-dit) you get a steady key-down carrier as long as you squeeze the
paddles!

I did the same thing, only I'm left handed, but the same idea. Because of
the finer dexterity needed for a straight key, I am forced to use my left
