Note
The Logikey K-1 Keyer is a compact, full-featured memory keyer using CMOS microprocessor technology for low cost and high reliability. In contrast to other advanced keyers, its control requires neither a myriad of switches and knobs nor complicated keypad sequences. Instead, commands are simply sent to the keyer in Morse code using your paddles.
Midway through the production run of the K1 keyer, some additional firmware features were added furtherenhancing the capabilities of the keyer. Here is how to determine if your Logikey K-1 has the version 2 features: Enter the "inquiry" mode by pressing down buttons 3 and 4 and releasing them together. Answer the question mark sent in CW by sending the letter "V". If you get the raspberry sound, your keyer is Version 1; if you get a digit between 0 and 9 you have version 2, in which case you should print out the supplement and add it to your
manual.
