I have 3 German WWII keys that share one interesting trait.
Two are the same, each has precision micrometer dial adjustment for contact
gap and a key click filter built into the base.
The third, an new addition, is a simpler one but still enclosed as the
other two.
All three have two sets of contacts, one normally closed and a silver
normally open contact.
But the most interesting thing is they all make a sound while using them
that sounds just like an old
Morse Sounder. It eliminates the need of a side tone when sending CW. I
have always had a problem
sending with a straight key without a side tone but have no problem with
these.
