General Notes

Note

Ham Radio, Jan 1975, p. 90. Ham Radio, Mar 1975, p. 84. Ham Radio, Jun 1977, p. 115. The Memo-512 appears to have evolved over time. All three of the units shown here were advertised as the Memo-512. The Memo-512 keyer had two 256-bit message memories and had an input jack for a squeeze paddle, iambic operation, and both dot and dash memories. Memories: 23 - 28 characters each. Pushbuttons both select and start a message run. Memories are large enough for a typical contest exchange. It was available with either reed-relay or transistor out-put keying. It had an internal AC supply, as well as a speaker and adjustable sidetone. The same keyer was available with a built-in squeeze paddle for an additional $9.00.
