Hello , great video. I am wondering where i can get a keyer like that. I am a Ham Radio guy and i love that keyer.

73's VE3NCV

This is the coolest key of all time! - N3JJB

Hi, JEB - Thanks for the kudos. No, there is just chaos when both paddles are pressed. If the two rotors were exactly synchronized at a 2:1 ratio, you would expect a string of dashes, which would not be of much help. Since the rotors are independent, you get sort of a "beat frequency" - not Morse code!

So is there any IAMBIC nature to the key when you hold both paddles?

This is really an incredible design! WOW! Thanks for sharing this, and you have a good fist. -- K6JEB

Go with this. A fully automatic _mechanical_ key! Simply brilliant. I wish you the best of luck with this great project that should go to market. Sign me up!

I can't tell you how many times I'd like to go portable without having to bring a keyer.

Thats a beautifully made key.

I saw the RotoBug and it was very impressive to me, but this amazing masterpiece is overkill - I need to drink some depressant. Well, this glass of rum for Great Telegraph Wizard, Keeper of The Rolling Keys, Master of (polished) Heavy Metal - WB9LPU!

too bad we could not read it as it goes...

might even learn sometin'

? words per second?

And is there a reason or system happening here?

[wb9lpu]

Sorry - I meant 15 words per minute. When I get better at putting movies together I do intend to run the text with the sound. I am using the Windows Movie Maker - do you know a better program that is also affordable?

[ku4gw]

Are you going to manufacture and market any on these? I would love to own a RotoTwin if I could afford it.

Sony Movie Maker is really top notch for Window platform.

Under $100.

It's a lite version of Sony Vegas.

@tigerbody1 here's what I got:

"v v qst qst de wb9lpu bt here is the rototwin / made by wb9lpu it is fully automatic for both dots and dashes. tnx 73 de wb9lpu sk e e"

sorry, I don't CW.

What are you saying here?

[wb9lpu]

Hi, Tiger - Look at the text that scrolls up at the end of the clip. It is what the CW message said. The speed was about words per minute - a nice moderate speed for casual conversation. Thanks for viewing.

Terrific design and machine work. All of your key designs are attractive, functional, and well built. I'm very impressed with your skillful efforts and imagination. TX for posting these videos.
