[Elecraft] CW Touch Keyer

[Stephen Roberts]

I to have had similar issues with the PF2 touch keyer. For whatever reason, it is unusable in my shack as it is currently set up. It works just perfect for a while, then goes haywire. Others swear by it and it does have a very interesting "action". You almost get the sensation that the finger pieces are moving when you touch them. A very interesting paddle option.
