[High-Speed-CW] MFJ 495 Keyer

Mon, 15 Dec 2003 23:09:21 +0000

Hi Mark,

I have tried a couple of MFJ keyboard keyers in the past - I don't recall if 
either was the 495 model.  One thing I noticed was that if you get ahead of 
the buffer, and continue to type, you will notice little "bumps" in the code 
being sent out of the buffer.

Hopefully, that has been resolved in the later models.  Good luck!
