[Elecraft] Squeeze Keyer for K2, K3 ?

[Alan D. Wilcox]

Hello,

Fifty years ago I designed and built a tube keyer to replace my 
Vibroplex. Then a transistor keyer. All this before the iambic keyers 
came along ...

Left paddle = dots
Right = dashes
Squeeze both paddles = dashes only.

The technique I developed was to
1. Always squeeze _both_ keys for dashes; if I was a bit late getting 
the dash paddle closed, the logic turned the dot into a dash (as long as 
the dot hadn't finished, of course.)
2. If dots followed dashes, just simply let loose of the right paddle.
3. A string of dots would turn into dashes simply by squeezing both 
paddles together.

I could send good CW at fairly-respectable speeds, and was happy. For 
decades ... until I got the K2 and the K3.

Then I tried to get the hang of iambic keying, and the best I can do is 
slap-keying or stagger along at 10 wpm or slower iambic.

Questions:
1. Is there a way to kludge the K2 or K3 keying logic for squeeze keying?
2. Does anyone make a keyer with my logic? WHO? All I've ever seen are 
iambic.
3. If neither, and I wind up building my new keyer myself, is this 
something anybody else would want?

Cheers,
Alan
