Calling all radio amateurs

Im looking for one of the Kent style iambic paddle keyers similar to this one.

Don't you like the Vibraplex ones? That's what I have.



You can get them gold plated and with other upgrades if you want a really blingy one.

My main HF rig and my QRP one have built in keyers that accept modern iambic paddle connections - and that's what my Vibroplex was connected to. I also have a straight Kent key that I used to pass my Morse test - paddles weren't allowed for that.

I always fancied buying a mechanical bug key, but I never did. I'm sure the mechanical ones don't work as well as an electronic keyer but the mechanism is fascinating - it's the same reason I find mechanical clockwork clocks more interesting than modern quartz ones.

Hi martin
Yes those are very nice, my new set has a built in keyer too, how nowt to plug in though
