And remember, kids, "Putikeeg" spelled backwards is "Geekitup"

@chrissewell1608 9 месяцев назад

🤔 😯 😜 🤗 Cool!

@chrissewell1608 9 месяцев назад

Its also spelled in "Code"!

@miketaylor6700 9 месяцев назад

I have one of these!!! And I LOVE it!!! I pulled a spring out of an ink pen on my desk, fashioned it to match the one from this awesome key.. swapped them.. and it’s perfect now!!! (Original spring was a bit too tight for me).

@shanejackson1973 10 месяцев назад

I am absolutely loving this thing! Thank you for recommending it!

@PaulGriffith 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the info, ordered one before the video finished.

@WaynePatrick 9 месяцев назад

I have it in blue. Love mine too. Also changed the spring to a lighter one.

@glenn718 10 месяцев назад

Great video! Purchased one with your link. Many Thanks.

@Pollrumptious 3 месяца назад

I got a brand new pair of roller-skates, you got a brand new key....

@shanejackson1973 10 месяцев назад

this is the best Little Morse code key that I have ever held in my two hands. Granted, I haven't had that many, but this is awesome!

@KCSooner83 10 месяцев назад

Bought a blue one in January. Paid $38 for it. It works great. Welcome to the club.

@DaveW6OOD 9 месяцев назад

I saw that two weeks ago and thought it looked good for the price, so I got it. Def happy so far. I'm 95% an iambic keyer but needed one for SSKC. It's solid.

@stevewarner8880 10 месяцев назад

I have lots of “favorite “ keys. J37,J38, Begali Blade straight keys snd bugs, Begali Intrepid, Vibroplex President, Speed-X. I change them in my rotation. I might try one for giggles.

@aa3konthego 10 месяцев назад

I'm am looking forward to this video!

@ladylunamm 9 месяцев назад

Looks good for the price. Nice and rugged for portable use. Only thing I might miss is some holes on the base to allow mounting on larger base or attaching leg straps (nearly all straight keys traditionally have mounting holes). I suppose you could maybe drill some if you wanted. Overall, looks a lot nicer than some of the small straight keys that cost more. The jack socket on the key might be useful as you could easily swap the short lead for a longer one if you wanted.

I just got one in green from Amazon. Going to hook up to my G90 right now.

@chrissewell1608 9 месяцев назад

I don't even do morse code.... And I want one! It looks to damn sweet! Throw that & a morse code list, all in the SHTF box!

@rickmoreau3107 4 месяца назад

Wow so cool perfect for the mobile operating.

@hamradiotube 4 месяца назад

I'm still amazed at this key months after posting this video. I was just talking about this to a CW op friend of mine the other day.

@brianmartin7964 2 месяца назад

I just ordered one, and they must be back ordered. May 19th.

@pale_2111 9 месяцев назад

I got their paddle and larger straight key. Both are decent, but the contacts on the paddle are a soft metal and wear out quick.

@joeblow8593 10 месяцев назад

Looks like a winner

@Scott_AI5EF 10 месяцев назад

I love mine.

@Radioman. 2 месяца назад

How is it great if you have to hold it down with the other hand? Pretty though. Nice to put up on display.

@patbullard9276 2 месяца назад

I’m an old guy and have absolutely no use for one of these things. But it looks so nice that I could bide my time playing with it and who knows maybe I could call in some UFO’s with it.

@shadowlab9543 7 месяцев назад

when i get mine, im going to polish my knob : )

@haramanggapuja 10 месяцев назад

Dammit, Mike! I’m a Begali crew but this looks really cool. And if there really is an iambic, well, the hoarders episode just went off the rails. Damn you indeed ;-) 73 de W8IJN

@nvrumi 10 месяцев назад

I was just thinking the same thing! I don't *NEED* another key, but..... ooohhhh, a sparkly!

@haramanggapuja 10 месяцев назад

@@nvrumi I just got the iambic set. Ain't bad. Very quality machine work, solid mechanism. A bit wide paddle spacing but otherwise a very serviceable & useable key. And the mag mount bit sticks it to the desk reaaaaall good.

@haramanggapuja 8 месяцев назад

Yep. I sprung for one of those too. Damn nice key. The mechanism/construction is a copy of the Begali Pearl, 'though with the wider paddle spacing & a different magnetic return system. Not a bad key & certainly rugged looking enough. Wish the paddle spacing was a tad closer but at least it snaps to the desk tight ;-) 73 de W8IJN

@mikesmithg0rfd356 10 месяцев назад

thank you

@queithai9035 Месяц назад

Could I plug this into a speaker and practise through that without first getting a radio?

@kevinkd9txitransmitindiana133 10 месяцев назад

Well you talked me into buying something else and I don't know cw. I do love my rig expert stick pro you helped me pick out at Dayton. Talk to you later I have to go learn cw now!

@DaDitDa 10 месяцев назад

I've yet to find anything that beats the feel of my J-37 with a Navy knob; although, my WT-8AMP with Navy knob comes close.

@Tom-n5tti 10 месяцев назад

YES! Navy knob!

@hamshackinabag 10 месяцев назад

Damn you're a bad influence! This key feels great and feels much higher quality than I expected.

@K3JRZOnTheAir 10 месяцев назад

A PUTIKEEG????? For $35???? NO WAY!!!! Pretty cool looking. Gives me a 50s vibe. Now what color should I get? 73!

@nvrumi 10 месяцев назад

All of them... ;)

@topperboggs214 10 месяцев назад

Mine arrived yesterday. Ordered August 15th. Also ordered flat top knob for this keyer ($6.99). 73's KZ5USA

@BenjaminHeyser 10 месяцев назад

Mike, can you add the other colors to you amazon store? I'd like to get the blue one, but when I choose it I think it drops you commission off.

@hamradiotube 10 месяцев назад

It shouldn’t matter so long as you get to Amazon from my like I’ll get credit. Thank you.

@Paris-in-the-North 6 месяцев назад

Hello, I‘m interested to use this for a workshop to learn the basics. Is it possible to attach the cable e.g. to a laptop and still get the sound/beeping of the device. Or must it be a real radio? Thank you so much in advance for your help

@andrewbell3476 4 месяца назад

You would need to connect it to an oscillator or radio to hear anything

@lonewolfhf 10 месяцев назад

I tawt I saw a putikeeg ?? Looks solid wonder if it’s available in the 🇬🇧?

@dnel83 10 месяцев назад

Amazon have it for near twice the price. Rip off Britain 🙁

@KeepEvery1Guessing 10 месяцев назад

Yeah. I have a green one. Good overall. I wouldn't mind being able to go lower on the spring force, but even if you take the adjusting screw all the way out, there's a little more spring force than I want. (I guess that I could replace, crush, or cut the spring, but it's good enough as is.) I also wouldn't mind if the base extended a little further out from under the knob. The knob is within the base outline, but my finger force isn't always straight down, so sometimes the back will lift (especially with the stronger than desired spring). But a fine key that will see lots of use here (at least until I figure out how to get in and service the contacts in my Navy Flameproof). No cat. Sigh.

@w8lvradio 10 месяцев назад

The "Big John" key is the same way. For some reason, the Chinese just don't like their key action to be soft. And it does fatigue you after a bit. I've been looking for a softer replacement spring for the "Big John" key, but haven't found one yet... 73 DE W8LV BILL

@KeepEvery1Guessing 10 месяцев назад

@@w8lvradio Yeah. The spring form factor will be hard to match. It's not like the spring is what grounds the arm, and thus the arm side of the contact: There's a wire hidden under the pivot bar. There might be a suitable thickness of foam.
