[Elecraft] Ultimatic Keying.

[David A. Belsley]

Tom:
   It's my understanding (though I've never used it) that it responds to 
a squeeze by repeating the last side closed.  Thus, holding the dot 
side produces a string of dots, dash side dashes.  Squeeze dot/dash 
give a dot followed by a string of dashes, while dash/dot produces a 
dash followed by a string of dots.  There is no iambic element.

best wishes,

dave belsley, w1euy
