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.

DX stations seams to like it, but never got any compliments on it.  They do like my AEA 25 year old keyer on how it sounds on the Omni VI plus on received many nice compliments on how the CW sounds with the Omni VI Plus, but I keep blowing pin diodes in the Omni when I use it.
