Greetings everyone. Could someone answer a question, please? Is the internal
keyer that was available for the Century 22 (Model 679 keyer, I think)
iambic, or would I need an external iambic keyer? Thanks for the help.

It seemed to be "semi automatic" -- kind of like a bug. It had auto-repeating dits, but the dah side was not repeating.

This has my mind going WAY back, but I ordered the Century 22 keyer from Ten Tec, and installed it, perhaps in the 1990 era. The one I received did not have any "semi-automatic" action, but both dits and dahs repeated in the normal keyer fashion. I do not recall whether it was iambic or not. I returned it due to a bad habit I had acquired of "leading" a keyer with the paddle, and this keyer was not very sympathetic to my sending style. (I would have had to re-learn how to send correctly, had I kept it). I installed what I was accustomed to at the time, (A WB4VVF Accu-Keyer), and tho I do not own it now,
both rig and keyer are still making the present owner happy.
