[Fists] HW-9 es Keyer

[Rich KR7W]

Ron... I have an HW-9 and it can be keyed by the PICO Keyer.  See link:

It is a kit... and please don't be intimidated by the long list of
things it will do.  You'll need to build a cable to go from the keyers
output to the key jack on the back of the HW-9.  Your paddles plug into
the jack on the pico keyer.  

Another option is the Nor-Cal QRP club keyer:

It does about the same thing... I know that a pot can be attached to
this kit to provide sending speed by adjusting the pot.

Both are good kits

One day I will incorporate this kind of keyer in my HW-9... but I don't
want to drill any holes for the button or pot.
I hope this helps.  Regards,

Gang ...

I have a Heathkit HW 9 and on keyer line is 9 VDC.
Does someone own one of these, figured out how to connect a 
electronc keyer to it, like CMOS-4?

Right now I'm using the bug (almost 50 years old).
