"couldn't make it work" is missleading. I'd key letters, and different =
letters would come out of the sidetone<g>. Lots of them were brand new =
letters! Sounded like my timing was WAY off (or that WG4S really does =
mean We Go For Scotch). But the old keyer was still keying fine, and I =
luckily remembered there were two settings on the menu. I'd love to see =
pictures of the timing logic, but I'm too lazy to figure out how to do =
that on my Tektronics 465.

Anybody know the technical difference between A and B?

Couldn't make it work on the K2? Hmmm... wonder if ture Iambic is only=20

Actually, I=20
never use it, other than using the DOT memory in order to slip in a DIT=20
somewhere along the line.

Heheheh... but, agreed... on both counts... <G>
