@M70ACARRY I built the keyer and there is an adjustment for the speed but there is no scale. I would say the keyer speed is about 13 WPM but the rate is slower. I am allowing more time between the characters but the speed of the keying is about 13 wpm.
As someone starting out to learn cw,would you choose any paticular type of keyer to start on as there seem to be various types being used?Thanks for the great video
@mikebuddy1 Thanks for the question. As a learner or an expert, the bencher line of paddles are very inexpensive and ergonomic. I am using a bencher in the video. There are more expensive and in some peoples opinion, "better", but as a beginner I would try one out. I've been doing the code for more than 30 years, and I love the bencher Iambic paddle, and their straight keys. I also love the "TICK" line of keyers for the electronics. A lot of value for the money.
What does DEAA8KY at the end mean? I'm guessing AA8KY is your handle, so what about the DE?

@raosprid AA8KY is my call sign. DE is an abbreviation used in Morse Code which means, "this is."
So DE AA8KY stands for, "this is AA8KY"
