Brian You bet. Nice compact portable package, sets up anywhere in ten
Brian minutes, easy to tune anywhere in the HF spectrum, etc. Short
Brian verticals will deliver the goods rumors to the contrary. Given
Brian some decent operating smarts and patience. A local here has
Brian worked well over 200 countries mobiling with goofy little three
Brian foot Hamsticks.

I'll show it to SWMBO and see what she thinks.

[... Dick wondered if I tried reversing the keyer's polarity ...]

Brian Beats me. I've had and/or used a gazillion keyer/rig
Brian combinations and I've never had the kind of problems he's
Brian described going back to cathode keying days. Somethin' ain't
Brian right at KC2ELS . . .

I corresponded with Ramsey and they weren't as helpful as I wish they
had been. Someone on Ramsey's BBS emailed me saying they had the
exact same experience and suggested a mod to fix it, but I decided I'd
rather use a straight key.
