[Elecraft] Ultimatic keying

[Wes Stewart]

My former TS-870 had a built-in Logikey and I could actually send with it.  The same can't be said for the K3 internal keyer.  I can barely program the memories without a few tries. As to holding a QSO forget it.  I've been sending the numeral "7" in my call since 1958 and it still comes out "M S" with the K3. :-)

I do too. I went from straight key to Iambic back in the 70s, or so. I
used a HB copy of the Heathkit HD-1410 Iambic keyer and a HB Iambic Key.

I decided that I would not chase the various rig internal keyers and
standardize on a keyer and key. Mine are Idiom Press K3 and CMOS-4 (VØ
Logikey K1, K3 timing w/dot and dash memory) and Vibroplex Iambic key.
