VEC-204
Electronic Morse Keyer mounted
on a Deluxe VECTRONICS
Iambic CW Paddle
Tired of sending Morse code with a
straight key? It’s fun for a while.
But making code sound good and easy to
copy is tedious, hard work!
VECTRONICS VEC-204 electronic code
keyer and paddle combination is ideal for
sending great sounding code. By squeezing,
you can automatically generate perfect code
with almost no effort.
If you press the dot paddle before a dash
completes, VECTRONICS SmartDotDash
TM
will finish the dash, make a space and then
the dot!
It’s so forgiving you can concentrate on
enjoying your QSO -- not on critical timing.
For beginners, type A keying makes sending
code easy -- nothing else is sent when the
dot or dash being sent is completed.
Type B keying makes it even easier to
produce certain characters such as a period
or letter C. If you release the paddle while a
dot or dash is being sent, the dot or dash
completes and an opposite element is sent.
Vectronics weight control lets you length-
en or shorten dots or dashes. It compensates
your transmitter for proper 1:3 ratio.
Here’s a more exciting use! Adjust your
dot/dash lengths to sound distinctive. Rare
DX can easily pick you out of a pile up.
VECTRONICS VEC-204 electronic
keyer has an exclusive 500 character non-
volatile Message Memory
TM
. You can embed
Message Loop and Extra Word Space com-
mands and a serial number for contesting
that increments after each sending. An LED
blinks during programming and blinks faster
for low memory.
