Guys,?
This is a hobby. ?Whatever brings satisfaction to your head and a warm glow to your heart (and lowers your blood pressure and helps you tolerate all the rest of the world) when you walk out of your shack is fine and OK in my book. ?Maybe for me it¡¯s just breathing in rosin core solder smoke that does it. But it has been working for 62 years¡¡?

?Justin ,i went to their website and it looks like a keyer.
its something i wouldnt install in my ubitx v6 but to each their own.probably has a decoder for those who like to send way faster than they can copy cw.HI HI.
Im a purist. decoders for cw are an insult to the cw community as a whole if you operate cw.this is from their website:K3NG¡¯s arduino code, such as LCD display, USB keyboard, rotary encoder and CW decoder etc.
looks nice for shortwave listeners who like to tune in those secret signals, but just my opinion,? my decoder is my ears. you always know someone is using a decoder when there is a little bit of adjacent noise and the decoder cant tune it in. even though your signals and theirs are 599.
decoders for those who try to appear to copy way way faster than they are able to.sometimes they use the programmable keyrs to make canned contacts too.Sometimes "SOME" those who use decoders? are the ones who apply for fast code decoding awards from the ARRL w1aw bulletins.
