I just built the new WK-USB keyer from K1EL. It can be use with a computer USB port, or in stand alone mode. It operates in Iambic A, B, Bug, or Ultimatic modes. I have not tried Ultimatic keying for 10 years, but was able to send OK with it after a few minutes of practice. I would think that either the Ultimatic mode with dual paddles or a single lever paddle with an iambic keyer would be equally easy to master. Now that I have learned iambic keying, I will stick with that mode myself. Hope this gives another option to anyone who finds iambic keying frustrating.
