[High-Speed-CW] Iambic A vs. B - ding dong

Sun, 15 Feb 2004 16:05:48 +0100

Hi Mike

Does the K-3 also run mode without dash memory ?
I learned CW back in 74 using the Squeeze Key MSK-5 which dont have dash
memory. Cant use the rigs with build in keyers, cos they all have dot and
dash memory :-)
Have tried to learn it but dont have the patience to get the speed up, I am
using to run 50 WPM and higher.
