Hey, I *still* have my W9TO keyer!!   Love that thing although the old
keyers don't have dot or dash memory so I can hardly send on those
things anymore.

(BTW, in case you've never used one of the ancient keyers, having no dot
or dash memory (auto-complete?) means that if your brain and hand are
sending characters faster than the keyer then things will get lost.  For
example, if you send the letter N and your keying was such that you sent
the trailing dot before the keyer finished sending the initial dash then
the trailing dot would be lost and you would have sent a T.)
