- Morse-code amateur-radio operators
- Worth noticing
- At 20 words per minute, the page gives a 60 ms dit and 180 ms dah, with keying timing handled separately from USB and network traffic.
Field notes
The device supports iambic A and B, ultimatic, bug, and straight-key modes, with speed adjustment available from the PTT control. It can return keyed input as text over USB serial, TCP, or its web page, and send typed text from several sources as Morse. The page describes ten memories, including fields for callsigns and names, and says practice mode does not transmit.
