Out of Stock
As of the end of July, 2014, we do not have the Logikey K5 or CMOS III kit in stock. and we are unable to determine when they might be available again. We have a few of the hardware packs and hookup kits still available (see below) but no keyers or keyer kits. We regret any inconvenience, and hope that we will be able to resume selling the Logikey K5 and CMOS III keyer kit again soon. Meanwhile, we offer four electronic keyers which are good realiable performers with different feature sets: MFJ
447 and 401D keyers www.mtechnologies.com/misc/mfj.htm

Keyer
Click to view image in full size The Logikey K-5 is the latest implementation of the famous CMOS Super Keyer III firmware, described in detail below. Idiom Press continues to make the industry standard super-keyer, a full-featured multipurpose keyer that will be right at home in any radio shack. Whether you are a contester, a DXer, a rag-chewer or a meteor-scatter burst mode fanatic, your needs are met easily and simply with the Logkikeys mnemonic interface. No memorizing charts of keyer commands! No re-programming your keyer for every contest. No looking for menus when you need to change speed. These features, and more, make the Logikey the most user-friendly keyer on the market. The K-5 features a new compact enclosure and circuit board featuring enhanced protection, side-tone volume control, negative keying capability, and built-in AAA battery holder. An accessory hookup cable kit is available in three versions, to suit most any transmitter. "When the K5 first came out all I could say was the perfect keyer just got better!" --N1FN See

The Super CMOS III Kit has a long and well-deserved reputation as one of the best Morse keyers ever designed. And when you look at the list of features you won't believe the price. The Logikey K-5 is the factory assembled keyer, with a very nice case, ready to "plug and play;" -- all the features of the kit plus negative keying capability, adjustable amplified side-tone, and an internal battery pack!
These keyers feature
speed
control by pot, six pushbutton
memories (which can be banked to provide 18 separate message memories)
and no other controls apart from your paddle! Several
functions are
readily available by combinations of key presses, and there is a
built-in
side-tone oscillator for practice and programming. Those are
just
the highlights-- check out the features list:
|
1.
|
Iambic keyer with dot and dash memories |
|
2.
|
6 active message memories, +12 banked messages, 1430 characters total |
|
3.
|
Messages may "call" other messages, and contain embedded functions |
|
4.
|
Input queue to call messages sequentially |
|
5.
|
Contest serial numbering 001-9999 with variable formats and easy correction |
|
6.
|
Digital and analog speed control, 5-60wpm |
|
7.
|
Adjustable weighting on dots and dashes-- 25-50% |
|
8.
|
Sidetone (and practice) oscillator with variable pitch |
|
9.
|
Tune (key down) function |
| 10. | Selectable automatic character spacing |
| 11. | Timed pauses within messages |
| 12. | Message loop capability for continuous play |
| 13 | Text insertion from the paddle during message play |
| 14. | Curtis A/B and eight other timing emulations |
| 15. | Ultra speed messages to 990wpm for meteor scatter, etc. |
| 16. | Ultra-low power consumption for battery operation |
| 17. | Full beacon capability |
| 18. | Stored (memory) message editing capability |
| 19. | Messages and configuration saved when power is off |
| 20. | Keyer can compensate for transmitter shortening |
| 21. | Hand Key mode. |
In reference to the features described above, there are NINETEEN FUNCTION COMMANDS (for setting features), THIRTEEN INQUIRY FUNCTIONS (the keyer will report the settings), and ELEVEN EMBEDDED FUNCTIONS (which can be placed in stored message text). There are even FIVE TWO-BUTTON COMMANDS, executed by pressing two of the six buttons simultaneously, for common functions like going into tune mode or hand-key mode.
But don't let all of this intimidate you! First, the commands and functions are mnemonic-- "S" for Speed, "M" for Monitor, and so forth-- so you don't need to refer to the manual every five minutes. Second, the most commonly used functions-- settting the speed, sending a stored message, storing a message-- are all right there in front of you. You can start using the keyer immediately, and worry about programming the more advanced features later.

This kit includes one or more devices which are extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge. We recommend the use of an antistatic wrist strap |
The optional hardware pack for the CMOS III kit, supplied by Milestone Technologies, contains everything you need to get your new keyer going-- six panel-mount pushbutton switches, stereo jack for the paddle, RCA phono jacks for straight key and output, 9V battery clip, 7805 voltage regulator, 2" speaker, and wiring instructions. An enclosure is not included, but the assembled keyer and hardware pack will fit in. the H804 project box.
The Jackson Harbor
Island Memory will work
with the CMOS III keyers. It adds four separate message memories that
can be recorded "live" or while you are transmitting, and they provide
an easy way to "edit" the contents of a CMOS III memory.

What Others are Saying...
I have just taken delivery of my new K-3 and got the thing working
straight away, it is superb ... It even helps us so called weak Gs. I am
using it with my $6000 Icom IC-781 and it is much better than the built in
keyer. You would think that for a 6 Grand radio it could not be beaten but
the K-3 is Far better .. Keep up the good work guys
