Thanks for this very nice explanation.

I never clearly understood difference between A & B, and now I do !

This WE, I will swich my keyer from B to A, and try some iambic, which for the 
time being I do not at all master !!

73 to all

Selon "David J. Ring, Jr." <n1ea at arrl.net>:

> Ron sent me a question about Mode A and Mode B.  I think he didn't
> understand what I meant about why I recommend Mode A.  It is because Mode A
> doesn't send a false element.
> 
> Consider dual paddles:
> 
> If you squeeze the keys together, dash first, you will get the IAMBIC -
> dash/dot/dash/dot.
> 
> 
> If you release both keys DURING the second DASH, you will get:
> 
> Mode  A -  Nothing.
> Mode  B -  a dot
> 
> If you release both keys DURING the second DIT, you will get:
> 
> Mode  A - Nothing.
> Mode  B - a dash
> 
> So to send a C in Mode A you would hold the keys until the start of the
> last
> dot.  You will not get a false extra code element.
> 
> To send a C in Mode B you would hold the keys until the start of the second
> dash, the keyer will continue to send the opposite element after you let go
> of the key.
> 
> You can also "insert" a dot by releasing the dot lever, then while the last
> dash is playing, tap the dot, and release before the dash finishes.  This
> is
> called "dot insertation" or "dot memory".
> 
> Mode A doesn't produce "extra" elements when your fingers aren't touching
> the key - you have to "tell" the key to send by touching it intentionally.
