Beautiful clean setup there! In comparing the antennas are you talking about 10 or 80m? Of course the ATAS won't do 80, if anything the ATAS should be marginally better on 10 because it is higher up (lower ground loss), but below 20m the Tarheel should give you way more results. 1/2-2 s units. A detailed comparison would be really helpful as mobile installs are very time consuming and expensive. Thanks es 73

Onboard power supply in your truck???? More info please.

Deaf, Dumb and Silent..... Just the way I like my Women.

Thank you so much for doing this video!!!

Well done! 👍 And I like Your 705 cup holder,of course! Is it printable for me? 😉 73 and HNY Sir!

My ATAS-120A is a hunk of junk! Rarely tunes up, is slow, goes all way down and stops there. I need to tune it multiple times. Have reset my FT-891 and re-done settings and still cannot get it to function properly. I appreciate your video. I ended up buying MFJ-939Y.

anyone here for delta force?

I have my paddle ordered so I can go back to play along with you! This is just brilliant teaching, thank you! Learning Morse again after over 20yrs! I just earned my Extra so new learning Thank you for these

Just to make sure I get that correctly (I am not a native English speaker): When - on hearing the morse code letter - first the visual representation of dits and dahs appears in my head (e. g. "-.-") and afterwards or best case at the same time the character ("K"), it is NOT what is supposed to happen. Instead I definitely need to eliminate that intermediate step, otherweise it all will not work. Correct? 🤔 73 de DL1HNR

Great Video. thank you

Great video...just got a BY 1 but without the Allen key type wrench to adjust the posts...do you know where I can get one of those...standard Allen key doesn't seem to fit. Thanks 73

How would you rate the GHD against the RA1AOM, UR5CDX, N3ZN, 9A5N and other premium paddles (Begali, Frattini?) you have owned or used? I would like to get a key with a smoother/lighter action but can't find a paddle showroom near me to try them all out...

Yeah, I was chatting about that, not that I know anything (as a wanna be HAM guy), but my take was/is: The 'language' or the 'alphabet' is Morse code and the 'medium' HAM people use is CW. I could do Morse code on a bucket, or on a wall, or on the hull of a ship to send message that "I'M Alive!' . Haha.

"secret language" yes this is one of the thing that attracted me to it. 🙂

0k, this is going to be completely silly. BUT. In the spirit of "the only stupid question is the question that is never asked"... I do not understand how it your radio that determine the speed of what you are sending? Isn't it how fast you're "paddling" your key (with your fingers) that sends the di and dah??? What is happening here?

Gee you have 3 of them! Three. Here I am dreaming of being able to afford one! LOL The one you adjust from 00:25 until 06:53 is really the nicest in my view. Stunning, dare I say... Sexy? 🙂

Officer I’m not texting and driving it’s CW 😂 love the setups

I forgot to mention from your other video This is a very niiiiice key. 🙂

These companies suck when it come to innovation they can't even make functional mounting hardware and God forbid it comes with it.

When I set up the standard port for CW it says the port is in use. I restarted the PC with the same issue. The enhanced port seems to be working and I can change the frequency. How do I find out what is using the port?

Another great video, thanks! I LOVE the mirror ball, in fact I need that mirror ball! LOL "When the fhit hits the san" LOL Never heard that before. 🙂 Yes, I am learning code... Thank you. I just bought a BAMA TPIII (in red) and I am tickle pink about receiving it. My first key.

Question, you have your paddle hooked-up to your radio but surely you are not broadcasting so how does that work? Did you disconnect the antenna (surely not!) ?? I just gave myself a Bama III key and torn between just getting a small QMX5 or jumping in and getting a full TX500 radio...

I am just gonna say it. This (lesson 1) is the best I have watched so far and I truly have watched dozens. (Because I am really not good at this !). It is so good that it gave me a head hake and I am exhausted. You made my brain work. 🙂 Thank you!!

Nice radio setup. Who designed that cup holder mount? I need to get one for my car.

Is there an app or an interface that can just listen to the radio decode it and save it while we as the operator receive it. Then we can check our receiving accuracy. I can now send cw at a reasonable speed but I am still not at a level to copy to an accurate level.

The paddle tension on a Bencher paddle _is_ adjustable. The adjustment screw moves the end of the spring _toward_ the vertical paddle axis to reduce paddle tension, and _away_ from the axis to increase paddle tension. It's never really heavy tension - there are better paddles for heavy-handed users. If the spring stretches over time, get a new one from Bencher (or whomever makes/distributes them now).

If you dont want to clip the leads for warranty purposes you can also make an adapter with male and female spade crimps.

How do you adjust ALC with this?

This guy has an amazing teaching style. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. In addition you have a very smooth, reassuring, and patient radio voice.

OK this is all about setting up your macros. Can you recommend a resource to connect my radio to N1MM and get the thing able to transmit?

Thank you for a great lesson

I love a good sideband hate sesh! CW > ssb

this is the best

its me pseudo

Heckler & Koch 1

Yaesu implies the 101 is an homage to Sako Hasegawa then puts a $2 speaker in the cabinet. Never chince on the transducer. There are very few deaf hams. 👍

How much space is there between the Visaton speaker and the PS? I am looking at another Visaton speaker with a slighly larger magnet?

Well that was a surprise when you turned on the ssb low and behold my mate Eddie from Abergavenny jeez he gets everywhere.

Great exposé on key options - thanks! 73 de G1AJH

Really helpful as I have been wondering about this..! I only use a straight key today. Think I might try a single lever paddle now. Cheers! 73 de G1AJH

I know I might get some backlash for saying this, but let me start by mentioning that I passed my Extra Class license in 1980 (at 20 WPM), yet I didn't use CW until 2021-so that's a gap of over 40 years! Here’s what I noticed: whether using a straight key or a paddle, my sending skills weren’t up to speed. Most of the CW operators today aren’t young, so when I called CQ, I didn’t get many responses. (My sending was not great!) Here’s where my solution comes in, which I’m sure will get a lot of pushback: I switched to using a keyboard for CW. And here's why-far more responses! More responses mean more practice (Receiving) , and more practice means more fun. Yes, I could have pushed myself to reach 20 WPM faster, but the journey to get there might have taken longer. The difference is that it was far more enjoyable. It’s like losing weight-you could use something like SlimFast to lose 5 lbs a week, or you could take a slower, more enjoyable route by cutting out some carbs and sugar to lose 2 lbs a week. It may take longer, but the journey is more enjoyable. Now, for improving my CW sending, I plan to buy a "Tutor Unit" to work off the air and improve both my speed and accuracy. On a side note: I found using single paddle to lesson my errors in sending I use CT 755 / (And of course the Key board to CW) / DE NN2X / Tom

I have wanted to learn CW for a long time, but I have struggled to be able to decipher it. I have just learned and absorbed more from this one video, than watching or listening to any other form I've tried. I am going to continue to watch these videos you've made, and hopefully, continue to absorb the content. Do you have any plans to continue building and putting together these videos for those of us, that have really struggled to learn CW? 73 KD0QZR

Just got mine this week. Really like it so far. I think I found him from your first video at hamfest. Long wait but so far worth it.

Tnx for a very clear explanation. I'm watching this vid after today experiencing difficulty in sending on an FT 891. After changing from A to B the problem dissapeared. After thirty years of radio, CW only, I never had this problem or asked questions! And I used many radio's and a few keyers during that time.

Thanks! This was helpful. I completed my first contest this past weekend with the CQ WW CW DX Contest. I was not a big scoring station, but I had a lot of fun learning and working at DX. 73s

Very informative video, now I understand why my IC 718 is not being keyed on cw althouh I have a CAT control. Back to soldering those cables. 73 de Z33ST
