Jim -

The weight on the Omni VI internal keyer is adjustable.  As I remember, 
you press sidetone, then CW, and use the arrows to change the value.  I 
liked it all the way up, 1.30.

For the AEA, use a keying interface between the keyer and the radio like 
the Jackson Harbor Press Keyall -

Great deal for $13 + shipping.
