Gotta put in a vote for the EZKeyer myself. It vy easy to use with
lots of easy
to use features, and changind speede is as easy asy with a pot I
think. Hold
the programming key and tap the dot or dash paddles for up or down in
2 wpm
incrrements, easy peasy. It also is very easy to "paddlize" (izzat a
word?).
Sending with it is very very smooth. http://www.4sqrp.com/ek2.php

There are indeed many good keyers out there, and ours is one of the
best imo. I
also have a CMOS II that sits on the shelf.

Back to the bench, Winter's too valuable to waste.
