My LinksAF4EX Weather Site (Davis Vantage Vue) AF4EX XBee Wireless Mod (Davis Vantage Vue) My favorite piece of radio equipmentI didn't make this key. Found it at a hamfest for $5. Nicely crafted from an old hacksaw blade, a cherry wood base and miscellaneous stock parts. I like the side-swiper because it is "self-powered" and can be used as a general replacement for a straight key, but is twice as fast. It's faster because you make marks in both directions. A straight key marks only on the down movement The quality of the Morse depends on your fist of course. But it's much better than a Vibroplex, IMHO, where the letter Q (--.-) often comes out sounding like: DIT dah dit dah I would love to know who made this key and if there are any others just like it |
