KeyerBuddy

by SA0DMA

Your morse code practice partner

KeyerBuddy audibly keys your paddle or straight key to help you improve your CW sending. It will also generate common CW phrases for you to hone your copying and QSO skills. If you can copy all its 100 phrases you will be fully ready for QSOs on the air.

KeyerBuddy makes it simple and fun to practice without any configuration or setup needed.

See the instruction manual for details on how to operate and assemble your KeyerBuddy.
