I know I've asked this in the past, but I still need the 
information.

I have a Curtis KB-4900 Keyboard / with built in Keyer, it can be used for 
Morse, Baudot and ASCII.

Most of the key combinations are printed on the metal of the keyboard 
enclosure, except for at least one that I need to know.

I do not know and have not found the key combination to program the four 
memories, labeled A, B, C, and D, nor can I program the key marked "ID".

I had a DGM MKB-2000 and SRT-1000 keyboard, to program you just pressed 
Control + one number from 1 to 0 (zero), the zero (0) memory was used for 
the call sign.

So if I was on the SS KING, I could program memory zero (0) for WAKL, the 
ship's call sign.

Then I could quickly call WKM (West Haven, CT Radio) on 500 kHz and the 
excellent operator would hear me at 40 wpm and snatch my traffic quickly 
so I could get off watch and eat. :-)

Anyone have any information on the Curtis KB-4900 keyboard?
