Hey all,

I'm having an situation with my Keyer/Key setup.

Every once in a while, I'll get a double when I shouldn't. It's

usually
on the dit side.

The key is a home-brew Iambic. The radio is an IC-745. THe contacts

have
been cleaned, to no avail.

Anyone have a similar situation or know if this may have been an

issue
with the 745? I'm going to try a few experiments, but any help is
appreciated.

Mike, that only goes to show that you just can't rely on that
new-fangled stuff. What if Paul Revere were waiting for the signal,
"One if by land, Two if by sea," and you sent him a double instead of a
single. American history would have been changed. Stick to manually
formed dits and dahs.
