Blue racers are smaller more compact keys

[shipwreck911]

where did u get that

[LETCA]

Can you have more than two weights on the key? I've never used one but it looks like the additional weights slow it down. Looks like a device for experts only!

[FDF38]

@LETCA

Yes, the position of the weights change the transmission speed. It works as a pendulum.

I saw a Vibroplex key with a third weight, but i think that is more appropriate

to insert a varispeed like in this video:

Here is a video for a correct adjustment and use of a Vibroplex key:

Nice! Tnx fer upload de KB8DNS

[teamfab]

You certainly see why some people love to collect these, lovely piece of equipment..

[G0IFI]

What a great key. The invention of semi-automatic keys must have been a real godsend to the guys back in the early days, who had to be sending morse every day for hours on end.

What's the difference between a Blue Racer and the regular bug?

Muy buena llave! Tuve el gusto de operar un Vibroplex idéntico antes de pasarme a la Bencher de Chicago. Felicitaciones!

This is the devil's techonology, far too advanced for mere mortals.

[Mykola40]

[slartybardfarst52]

Nice key i only had a go of a 'Bug' once and it threw me as i'm used to an iambic, would love to get to grips with one

[LuckyDeviI]

Gibberish. You EXPECT us to blieve that makes some sort of sense? This new fandangled technology will NEVER fly!

After watchin/listening it has motivated me to learn the code. I only know 10 letters and all the numbers but at 15wpm. Hope to be good one day. Thanks for the demo.

[obrienaj]

Very useful video, I am trying to get mine set up.

Nice video, but try rocking your hand back and forth as apposed to pivoting your wrist left and right if that makes any sense. Lol. That will help you "swing" the dits and dashes together a lot smoother as apposed to sounding choppy. Cheers!

[FDF38]

Thank you disgruntldtoad !!!

[Postie1]

Nice, I want one of those. I'm going to get my CW back up to speed and get one.
