[Elecraft] Keyers

[David Wilburn]

I would be interested in peoples experience with the K1EL keyer.  I am 
interested in Ultimatic.  I have not learned to use an Iambic mode, 
but I am getting to the point where it can make a difference in 
sending.  I am seriously thinking about picking up a K1EL, but I know 
Ultimatic is on the list for K3 somewhere down the road.  So I have 
been dragging my feet.  Maybe some impressive stories will help me 
pony up the money and dig out the soldering iron.  I really do need to 
get this place better organized.....
