hmm, for me the possibility to switch off dot/dash memory is more
important. I wonder who invented these in the first place anyway.
You have to move your fingers even faster... Unfortunately most
rigs internal keyer has these memories. I just can't get used to
them.
I learned iambic keying with an home made sensor keyer because I
could not afford mechanical paddles at the time (at school). On
my SuperKeyer I always use "V9".
Another option would be to allow straight key input into the W5XD
Keyer. You would lose speed control for the paddles but at least
you had side tone in SO2R with the paddles.

Betreff: Re: AW: [WriteLog] W5XD keyer control
Probably I guessed as much. It does seem to be an omission when
even the built in keyers in standard transceivers have this
facility.
To clarify, why I would like it. I learned electronic keyers
with a home brew W9TO back in about, erm..... well whenever the
Beach Boys recorded " God only knows" ! Therefore I have never
used, and see no advantage to iambic keying. However it is a
fact that the best paddles available are all dual lever, and my
old faithful single lever , chrome plated, Vibro paddle is
overdue for retirement. I appreciate dot memory in normal mode,
but find that I get extra dots when using a twin lever paddle
and the keyer is set to iambic mode. Thus I would like to
disable either of both of these.
Incidentally, an FOC visitor to my shack recently, couldn't
operate because I had only a single lever paddle, and he
couldn't use anything else but iambic mode. Well I may send
garbage in iambic mode, but at least if I QRS a little I can
handle it. I certainly wouldn't like to be in the opposite
position.
Let's hope we are not alone, and our voices will be heeded.
