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.
