The key levers? Well, they are simply dual lever or dual paddle keys. But
not, strictly speaking, iambic.
Hi Al,
You're right about the paddles not being iambic. You do need a dual
lever or dual paddle key to use the iambic function of an iambic keyer.
With a single lever key you can still send with a iambic keyer, just not
iambically. I know of no other reason (except Ultimatic mode, or maybe
greater adjustment flexibility) to have a dual lever key. So I think it
is sort of a natural evolution of language that people tend to call dual
paddle keys "iambic".
