Lyle's post (12-2) on the SDR took me to the following site which also
had a keyer kit offering a versatile means of changing messages for
about $45. 

The FB2 uses a PIC and has a modest parameter-controlling command set
from which keying speeds are stated at 5wpm and up. But there are timed
'hold' commands that seemingly may stretch out code chars, hence slower
WPM. The PIC, being programmable, should be capable of offering QRSS
keying, though not specifically done so for this kit.

This may be a better direct application for Med- and HiFERing than LF
QRSS apps.

Q: Has anyone looked into this item or poked around with one? Ideas?
