Hi Ken,

Yes, you are right.? The large “box” in the left top of the photo is a SLA Battery inside an old card catalog box converted into a battery box for the field with diode polarity protection inside and a push to test meter on the front. The square clear plastic box is a 20-meter QCX transceiver and the long thin silvery box on the right side of the photo is one of those rechargeable 4.5-5 volt back up batteries for cell phones and other stuff using standard USB connections.? I wanted to show the W8BH Keyboard keyer hooked up to a portable QRP rig to show what is included for portable operating.

?

The keyboard keyer is really a lot of options packed into a small package!

?

All for now,

Allan,?? WA9IRS

Hello Allan,

Thanks for your reply. I didn't even notice the long thin silvery box
on the right.
I really like your card catalog box.
The box that the Keyboard Keyer is in looks good as well.
Have you made contacts with the 20m QCX?

Hello Ken,

?

Yes I’ve made contacts with the 20 meter QCX unit, but in all honesty it was while I was using a straight key (J-38) a while ago and not the Keyboard Keyer that is currently attached.? My longwire antenna here at the house broke a while ago during a storm and I have not repaired it yet. However, I did hook up a line to the house gutter which if I use the tuner in line should be just fine for the system that you see in the photo. I’m planning on getting it up and running sometime this weekend and hope to be able to report on it and the keyboard keyer next week.

?

The keyboard keyer box is one that I got from “The Container Store” up in Kenwood, Ohio (a northern suburb across the Ohio River).? Only trouble with it was that it was a little delicate, one of the hinges broke the second time I opened the box.? I replaced the hinge pin with a short piece of brazing rod (the gold color of the right hinge in the picture). ?This was the time I decided to try a store bought box and I have had second thoughts about that after the hinge experience.? Just wanted something to keep the dust and grime out of the PC board material.

?

All for now, 73,

Allan,? WA9IRS
