What is an iambic keyer?

Iambic keying involves squeezing both paddles – the first paddle to make contact sends its element (dit or dah) immediately followed by the opposite element. This continues as long as one or both paddles are squeezed. This allows many CW characters to be sent more efficiently.

How does a Morse code keyer work?

The basic concept of the sideswiper Morse key is that it has two contacts, one either side of the central position. The lever can be moved from side to side to produce the dots and dashes. The operator can makes dots and dashes on either side.

What is Morse code keyer?

A keyer (combined with a “paddle”) makes sending Morse code easier than the traditional “straight key” which most people would imagine is used. The keyer defaults to “iambic A” mode which sends alternating dits and dahs while both keys are pressed.

What is the purpose of an electronic keyer?

An electronic keyer makes CW communications easier in that it automatically generates the strings of dots and dashes for CW operation. This type of keyer produces a wonderfully consistant signal, as the dots, dashes and spaces all are produced with the correct length and timing.

Are there any intelligent keyers for FSK beacons?

An Intelligent keyer for FSK beacon usage – Designing a beacon keyer that transmit the relative output power along to call sign. Arduino Beacon – A multi-mode QRP radio beacon built around the Arduino. This radio propagation beacon transmitter project is presented by M0XPD

How does an electronic keyer work on a mechanical key?

The key had a paddles and when moved to the left made contact for the dashes, and when moved to the right, it set a vibrating arm in motion to create the dots. Electronic keyer: The electronic keyer is an electronic development of the mechanical key.

Which is the best programmable Beacon keyer for home use?

VA3TO Programmable Beacon Keyer – Inexpensive and easy to to build standalone Beacon Keyer. VersaBeacon Project – The VersaBeacon is a frequency agile, modulation agile RF source using a DDS chip and minimal support circuitry.

What do you mean by propagation in radio?

In radio, propagation just describes how a radio wave travels and behaves. Radio waves are electromagnetic waves and just like light waves are subjected to things such as refraction, reflection, absorption and scattering. There are many kinds of propagation but the type you might be most familiar with is line of sight propagation.
