This has my mind going WAY back, but I ordered the Century 22 keyer from
Ten Tec, and installed it,
perhaps in the 1990 era. The one I received did not have any
"semi-automatic" action, but both dits
and dahs repeated in the normal keyer fashion. I do not recall whether it
was iambic or not. I returned
it due to a bad habit I had acquired of "leading" a keyer with the paddle,
and this keyer was not very
sympathetic to my sending style. (I would have had to re-learn how to send
correctly, had I kept it).
I installed what I was accustomed to at the time, (A WB4VVF Accu-Keyer),
and tho I do not own it now,
both rig and keyer are still making the present owner happy.
