Heath Heathkit HD-1410 Electronic Keyer

Description

The HD-1410 is a compact Electronic Keyer with a bu
ilt in AC power supply, mechanical paddles,
sidetone oscillator and speaker in one package. It i
s designed and styled to complement the "SB"
Series and is compatible with virtually all modern
transmitters and transceivers, as well as most older rigs.
From the manual: Keyer features Iambic operation – Lets you form many Morse code
characters with less wrist movement
than is required with keyers that lack this feature
. If the two independent paddles are treated
as one, operation is identical to single-paddle key
ers with dot and dash memories. Dots and
dashes are self-completing, and proper ratio is alw
ays maintained.
Built-in sidetone oscillator and speaker with adjus
table tone and volume.
Headphone jack at the rear panel that silences the
speaker. Receiver audio is fed to the head
phones by a separate rear panel jack.
Built-in paddles have excellent feel and easily a
djustable for tension and travel.
Solid-state output eliminates the bounce and sticki
ng problems associated with relays.
Weighted cabinet to prevent the keyer from sliding
on the operating surface.
Rear panel jacks are provided for an external key a
nd for operation from an external battery
(polarity protected) for portable operation. The lin
e cord disconnects from the Electronic Keyer
for battery operation.
Front panel "Hold" switch allows transmitter tune-up.
Includes line cord; manual available online.
