This guy has an amazing teaching style. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. In addition you have a very smooth, reassuring, and patient radio voice.

OK this is all about setting up your macros. Can you recommend a resource to connect my radio to N1MM and get the thing able to transmit?

Thank you for a great lesson

I love a good sideband hate sesh! CW > ssb

this is the best

its me pseudo

Heckler & Koch 1

Yaesu implies the 101 is an homage to Sako Hasegawa then puts a $2 speaker in the cabinet. Never chince on the transducer. There are very few deaf hams. 👍

How much space is there between the Visaton speaker and the PS? I am looking at another Visaton speaker with a slighly larger magnet?

Well that was a surprise when you turned on the ssb low and behold my mate Eddie from Abergavenny jeez he gets everywhere.

Great exposé on key options - thanks! 73 de G1AJH

Really helpful as I have been wondering about this..! I only use a straight key today. Think I might try a single lever paddle now. Cheers! 73 de G1AJH

I know I might get some backlash for saying this, but let me start by mentioning that I passed my Extra Class license in 1980 (at 20 WPM), yet I didn't use CW until 2021-so that's a gap of over 40 years! Here’s what I noticed: whether using a straight key or a paddle, my sending skills weren’t up to speed. Most of the CW operators today aren’t young, so when I called CQ, I didn’t get many responses. (My sending was not great!) Here’s where my solution comes in, which I’m sure will get a lot of pushback: I switched to using a keyboard for CW. And here's why-far more responses! More responses mean more practice (Receiving) , and more practice means more fun. Yes, I could have pushed myself to reach 20 WPM faster, but the journey to get there might have taken longer. The difference is that it was far more enjoyable. It’s like losing weight-you could use something like SlimFast to lose 5 lbs a week, or you could take a slower, more enjoyable route by cutting out some carbs and sugar to lose 2 lbs a week. It may take longer, but the journey is more enjoyable. Now, for improving my CW sending, I plan to buy a "Tutor Unit" to work off the air and improve both my speed and accuracy. On a side note: I found using single paddle to lesson my errors in sending I use CT 755 / (And of course the Key board to CW) / DE NN2X / Tom

I have wanted to learn CW for a long time, but I have struggled to be able to decipher it. I have just learned and absorbed more from this one video, than watching or listening to any other form I've tried. I am going to continue to watch these videos you've made, and hopefully, continue to absorb the content. Do you have any plans to continue building and putting together these videos for those of us, that have really struggled to learn CW? 73 KD0QZR

Just got mine this week. Really like it so far. I think I found him from your first video at hamfest. Long wait but so far worth it.

Tnx for a very clear explanation. I'm watching this vid after today experiencing difficulty in sending on an FT 891. After changing from A to B the problem dissapeared. After thirty years of radio, CW only, I never had this problem or asked questions! And I used many radio's and a few keyers during that time.

Thanks! This was helpful. I completed my first contest this past weekend with the CQ WW CW DX Contest. I was not a big scoring station, but I had a lot of fun learning and working at DX. 73s

Very informative video, now I understand why my IC 718 is not being keyed on cw althouh I have a CAT control. Back to soldering those cables. 73 de Z33ST

Hello, fellow hoosier here. I grew up near Pendleton. I had a walkie-talkie as a kid, and then I saw some walkie-talkies that had a Morse code alphabet sticker on them and a CW key. All I ever learned was S O S and nothing else ever made sense to me. Now I'm 63 and recently found out Morse code wasn't required for a ham license any longer and got my Technician about six weeks ago and just passed my General a week ago and am even studying for Extra now. This video has gotten me interested in finally learning Morse code again. I have an hour commute for listening. 73, Jim KE9BNG

17:53 "these are not letters- these are not words" Yes. That is correct, they are _food groups_

CW is pretty -• • •- -

TNX qso ..we have same rig !! also ic-705 on POTA 73 Jean VE2JCW

I use an old Vibroplex brass racer that I bought about 35 years ago. It has been restored a couple of times. The paddles are in the same style as on the Bencher and the brass, that turned green really fast, is all chromed. I have adjusted it so the contact spacing is minimal and it's almost no movement needed to key, just a light touch. It's probably completely wrong but I like it and has used it in this way for many years.

I have this paddle, I enjoy it but still learning how to use it

Thank you for explaining how to work with Morse

I need that!!!

I use a Begali Spark straight key & a Kent twin paddle key which I’ll probably replace with a Begali.. Not only are the keys amazing but buying from the Begali family was an experience too.. Goid video 😇

Thanks for the QSO! Looks like Jonathan did a great job with this little radio. It's on my list of kits I want to build.

When I first started out, it was with a Ten-Tec magnetic key kit. Although I somewhat liked the kit, I learned that I don’t really like magnetickeyers. The reason is is you have to put pressure on them, and then they all of a sudden give away, finally making the closure. What I found is, I actually like the Bencher the best, because it has springs which are very predictable (and you can adjust the spring of a Bencher), but most of all the paddles, and their associated contacts have extremely low mass. It is this total low mass that I really find to be the absolute best. 73… 😊

I've been looking at his page often, hoping he'll offer more colours.. The only thing I am not fond of are the paddle shapes, hopefully he comes out with different styles that are a little more stream lined, or better looking, like the TP-III with rubber tips.

I'd rather carry 2 fully built QRPLabs QMX radios and still have plenty of money left over for a nice dinner out, or some other ham gear. That's my main rant about this single mode radio kit. The unbelievable, premium price for a radio kit (that you have to assemble yourself), with a cheaply thought out, 3D printed "enclosure".

You made me pee my pants.. THAT was funny!!

Hello TJ. I am very grateful for the tutorial. I spent a lot of time configuring the connections between my FTdx101MP and N1MM. I uploaded the appropriate files to my PC, set everything up as you stated in the video and...nothing would work. I left the problem until the next day and with a fresh head I tried again - step by step and nothing. I felt that I had not made any mistake in configuring the hardware and that this was not where to look for the problem. For it turned out that the cable connecting the transceiver to the PC was the cause of the problem. This cable was new and supposedly a “good brand” and...when I replaced the cable with another one (taken from the printer) everything started to work ! So thank you again for the great video. Now I can calmly wait for the CQWW DX Contest CW at the end of November. Warm greetings from Poland. Wim, HF5WIM🙂

Is there any pc software for the 101mp that reads and sends CW?

I think you had it in iambic a?! 😮

😂😂

Love my CFT1! Such a great field rig. Love the QRP setup my guy. Nice squeeze keying too. Someday I’ll learn

You're a nut...

😂😂😂

That's hysterical!

Wow! Nice! • •

This video was 86'd from the playlist. These are great, thank you! --... ...--

nice1

Is there a storage/carry case? Not worried about the paddles getting hung up? Otherwise, it looks great!

Heck yeah dude! Killer little rig right there

My buddy has this key, I like it better than my BaMatech III, are you going to ft wayne hamfest?

That IS really nice. Thanks for posting
