K1EL CW Keyer Kit

For anyone, like me, that can copy CW at over five words per minute but have a lousy fist, K1EL has a memory keyer kit for sale at http://www.k1el.com. For the sum of $34 US he will deliver, to your mailbox, the kit - ready to build.

This is not a beginers kit! However, if you have a good soldering iron, reasonable work space and are willing to take your time as you build it, this is a good kit.

Some of the features (see his website for a full list) are:

• Adjustable speed - 5 to 99 wpm
• Farnsworth
• Flat key, Iambic keying or Keyboard for input
• Ability to assign often used sequences to a function key (if you use a keyboard)
• 2048 character memory
• Contest numbering
• Adjustable side-tone frequency
• and many others

It requires 6 to 15 volts input but makes a very compact packlage if you use a 9 Volt battery to power it (rated at about one and one-half MONTHS use per battery).
