Hi Don,

Yes, I have a Hallicrafters TO keyer, Model HA-1.  I'll bring it to the next 
meeting.

Another topic.  I didn't mention it last night, but I'm pretty sure that the 
GR sig gen has a power line filter.  Thats significant because it has 
capacitors to ground and a three wire cord.  There is an excellent chance 
that it will trip a GFI breaker if it is plugged into a GFI outlet.  If the 
filter is on the line side of the power switch, it will trip the GFI when it 
is plugged in.  Solution is to plug it into a non-GFI 3-wire outlet.  I 
specified that all the outlets in my work area were to be non-GFI for that 
reason!
