Good show, the advice at the end to go with one side paddle is probably the best advice I have heard about keys.

@LA6NPA 6 месяцев назад

About the screws: Zinc is a problem when it comes to contact, as it will oxidize and zinc oxide is an insulator. So stay away from galvanized screws. Brass screws and nuts are your friends. Or even stainless. To be precise: The zinc oxide forms on the end of the screws where they contact the paddle. And you don't need much power for it to form within half an hour either. My practice oscillator is 555 based and the cootie (same thing, basically, as a single paddle) was switching the output to the speaker, so not even the 9V battery to the circuit. Went out and bought some brass screws and haven't had to file/clean the contact points again. That was 8 years ago.

So I love how Micheal lets the guest OM talk and tell the story. Great vid. 73 W6SLA

Nice sideswiper key. Used to use one on a Russian-built ship back in the 70s. Way better than a straight key.

I am starting to sense some pressure to get back on my CW skills. That was a fun video guys, thanks

@KB9VBRAntennas Год назад

Dave's always on my case, in a good natured way, to get my code proficiency back up to speed.

@ljay3030 4 месяца назад

That’s awesome !! Would like to see it in action

@vd89198 Год назад

Would like to see you build an attenuator for fox hunting if that is possible, like the one you use in some video's. Have a nice day!

@MrStanwyck Год назад

I second that. I really enjoy Michael’s fox hunting videos…

@seandriscoll6595 Год назад

I third that!

@KB9VBRAntennas Год назад

That's been an often requested project. I've got it on the list for this fall.

@preparados1917 Год назад

Nice simple project. Thanks.

@johnsinclair3067 Год назад

That's absolutely fantastic!!!

@K3JRZOnTheAir Год назад

Brilliant!

@MrStanwyck Год назад

Awesome little keyer project. I’d like to see it in action…

@davewhite7679 Год назад

Yes, we should have plugged it in and sent some code. It works flawlessly, every bit as well as my Vibroplex Racer and 1,000 times better than those 3D printed plastic paddles. KZ9V

@@davewhite7679 please do a follow up video operating the $1 key.

@LevyCarneiro Год назад

Genius idea.

@steventatum9327 Год назад

Wow love this project I'm going to build some for students to play with at ham club.

@45auto Год назад

I'm trying to decide if it would take me longer to make the key or pound out a QSO in Morse since I no longer remember the entire alphabet. 😉

It'll come back. No problem. 73 de kc4i

Icom Firmware update to ad A keying?

@W4TRI Год назад

I'd like a link to who is selling plastic paddles for $20? I sold a few 3D printed ones in the $35-40 range

@davewhite7679 Год назад

I bought the 2 paddle plastic key 2 years ago during a $10 Thanksgiving promotion, so I believe it was actually a $30 key on eBay at that time. KZ9V

@W4TRI Год назад

@@davewhite7679 Never a doubt just wondered if you had a deal I did not know about. Thanks! Great plan on the file. Wonder if Icom could change firmware to add A keying? I have an 817ND myself and I've only used CW on air once. Embarrassed to try again here.

@davewhite7679 Год назад

"Parks On The Air" has brought a lot of us back out of the closet with our rusty CW skills. Give it a try. Switching to a paddle key and utilizing some rig memory storage took my CW game to a whole new comfort level. KZ9V

@paulgarcia1566 Год назад

I have a G90 with the latest firmware and I'm pretty sure it has type A and type B

@davewhite7679 Год назад

Yes, the G-90 internal keyer (like many radios) offers both Iambic A and B keying options. Unfortunately my IC-7300 does not. So instead of relearning the other Iambic style I switched to a single paddle key. KZ9V

@SP-nt4sr Год назад

Cool story but not true. The ic-7300 has options for both iambic A and B.

Hey! That is my way! Long time. I am agree. Love that and easy but great set up. de peter 73. germany 🤗🍀😄👍👋

@georgeetheridge-is4cu Год назад

Brilliant! Why spend weeks choosing a flexible "blade" and making a good looking handle for it when the combination is already waiting for you where you buy your nail touch-up products. You do keep your nails scrupulously groomed, don't you?
