1998 Super CMOS Keyer III Construction


This is a Super CMOS Keyer III I built in the summer of 1998. I built it specifically for the VHF station at the University of Texas Amateur Radio Club station N5XU.

Removing buttons from an old PC keyboard to use in the Morse code keyer.

Wires wires everywhere! At this point, everything looks like it was ready to be put together.
Image
The new Morse code keyer I built this summer is the thing in the middle with the six buttons and big knob on top of it.

Another shot a little further back and better in focus.

This is a circuit I wired up based on a design sent to me by Dale KG5U. it implements a PTT line, with adjustable delay, while code is being sent by the keyer.
Image
Here is an out-of-focus shot of the circuit added to the keyer. It is the small mustard yellow PCB in the bottom left of the keyer.

This photo was taken from further back, and is a little bit better in focus.
