I have a couple questions 1) does the Jupiter have a Iambic keyer ?
2) I have sent code with a bencher or mfj dual paddle and didn't even know
that there was a squeeze technique 3) What about a bug , single paddle
vibrating key , can I send slow around 15 words a minute with one ? I have
been wanting to re experience CW after a long lay off I can only read about
18 - 20 words per minute and I am looking for suggestions on witch paddle to
get being that I am essentially starting from scratch . thanks to all who
respond . John kb2huk
