Heavy Duty CW Key Automatic Morse - PUTIKEEG Morse Code Keyer Shortwave Radio Morse Telegraph Key Lambic Double Paddle Morse Code Key Aluminum Alloy CW Morse Code Key Square-Shaped Base - Red Gold

My Putikeeg CW paddle has been GREAT. I used it to make my first CW contact, and it has been a joy to use. It is easy to adjust, and it has nice weight to minimize movement when it is being used. There are other versions available with slight differences, but I believe that the Putikeeg version to be the best looking and best made. I want to learn to use a straight key, so again I am looking to Putikeeg for my next key which is currently on order. I am looking forward adding to my collection, learning to use it, and putting it on the air.

Hello everyone, I recently wrote a review for a straight key, as I like that traditional style for practicing CW. Yet I can see the advantages of a Lambic twin paddle keyer as well. So with little prior experience, I decided to start searching online for one, with my criteria being: easy to adjust, heavy enough to stay in place, and is backed by an established manufacturer of Morse code products. Fortunately I believe this Puteikeeg keyer meets that criteria. First impressions, once I took it out of the box were that it had weight to it and the overall fit and finish looked flawless. I couldn't find any manufacturing damage or cosmetic flaws. Adjustability is pretty straight forward and requires no tools, to date I haven't needed to make any adjustments. If you do decide to change the contact spacing, I suggest you grab a spark plug gap spacing tool, so you can get the two sides to match. A spare set of paddles are included, although the Allen wrench is not. The magnetic return is crisp, although I've found spring returns to be equally crisp. If you're new to CW (Like I am) you'll like the accuracy of this key when paired to your CW equipment, as it's so much faster and accurate to learn on versus a traditional key, not that I'll be giving up on my traditional key anytime soon. Looking online for keyers, especially if you have little to no experience with them can be confusing. All I can say is I'm satisfied with this product's quality, adjustability and price, and believe you would be as well.
