Jan,

 It's not the paddles that determines A or B; they're
just paddles, capisce?

  What keyer are they hooked up to? Have any
documentation? That should tell you.

  From Jackson Harbor's site:

The difference between mode A and B lies in what the
keyer does when both paddles are released. The mode A
keyer completes the element being sent when the
paddles are released. The mode B keyer sends an
additional element opposite to the one being sent when
the paddles are released. The original Curtis chip is
mode A - the WB4VVF Accu-keyer is mode B. You can tell
the basic difference between the modes with the letter
C. In mode A you could squeeze both paddles(dah before
dit) and you would let go of both after hearing the
last dit. Withmode B, you start the same BUT let go of
both paddles after hearing the second*dah*.
