Hi Eddy -

I don't know for sure, but I hope your line voltage is REAL stable.....

I had a similar keyer waaay back.  My shack was in my bedroom above the 
kitchen.  All was well until my Mom got a new electric skillet.  I'm 
checking in to NTS nets upstairs, she's cooking supper downstairs.  I'd 
be cruising along just fine and that d**n skillet's thermostat would 
turn on, and my "weight" would go from 50% to 10%.  I'd reach up and 
tweak the pot and all would be fine.  Then the stupid skillet would turn 
off, and it would go from 50% to 90%!!  Grab the pot and turn it back 
the other way.......  Grrrrrrr..........   And THAT keyer had a VR tube 
in the power supply!!  :-)

Let us know how this one works out.
