[CW] Keyboard Keyer?

[John/K4WJ]

Jeff,

I use the MFJ-464 with a PC keyboard connected to it and I love it. I run 
it when I'm running anywhere from 300 to 1100 watts and I have no problems 
with RF wreaking havoc with it or any of my keyers.

I have a paddle connected to the 464 and I can watch what I'm sending. This 
is a real nice feature because it helps me develop good inter-word timing. 
The 464 also has a reader built in that allows you to read CW that others 
are sending. I have never used it to read CW so I don't know how well this 
feature works.

I don't like RF in my shack so all the equipment is grounded.
