[Elecraft] Elecraft keyer chip replacement

[David Toepfer]

I suspected this. Oh well. The Pico Keyer is pretty small in an altoids mini size case. I could probably velcro it to my leg strap or on the top/back of a portable rig.
 
Thanks to all for your replies.

David,

The Elecraft keying selections are Iambic A or B and hand key.
The keying function is built into the firmware (no separate keyer chip)
If you need Ultimatic, you will have to use an external keyer with the 
key selection set to HAND.

73,
Don W3FPR
