    Was watching playback at 1.5x and was thinking you were going burn the key up. Then I realized what I did lol. Thanks for video I’m looking at getting one as well.

      Hah!! I’m not that fast (yet). It’s a really nice key, I don’t think you would be disappointed.

    I’m always a few days behind on watching/ listening. I heard my call sign while listening in the car. I had a very narrow window, I heard you calling and threw my callsign , but never heard you again , faded away. Always another day. New key looks interesting and seems to be a top notch design.

      Massive +1 on a new key in the field. New keys are great, but it’s an adjustment every time to master the feel!

      I will get in your hunter log one of these days too. Seems like the path out west has been open more often lately.
      It does take some getting used to a new key but the key feels pretty precise and that helps. 73!

    So, between this new key and the BamaTech TP-III, which one do you think you'll be using more? I have the TP-III and love it, but this one looks nice too!

    • @w4arb
      @w4arb  5 місяців тому

      Great question! Right now I’m using the Modern Morse more. They’re in the same class as far as feel and quality in my opinion, but the MM is more comfortable to hold in my hand. Honestly they’ll both stay in my bag for the foreseeable future. :)

    • @w4arb
      @w4arb  5 місяців тому

      They cost $200 + shipping for the key. He also does some optional customizations for extra. So about the same range as the Bamatech keys.

      @dongelinas5990 Interesting that you mention this. I tried emailing him twice. Never got a response. We live in some strange times. I suppose if they’re selling like crazy that that’s a good thing for him. Too bad he doesn’t have the time to reply to people interested in giving him money. Oh well.

      @@w4arbWell as a follow up, I was able to get in touch with Aaron. I placed an order right after he got the web site up and running. Was told that it would be two weeks to receive the key. That’s fair, right? Like you mentioned, he has a day job. So after 4 weeks I thought that seemed a fair amount of time without hearing anything back, so I reached out. I received an email response saying my key would be ready by the end of the weekend or at the latest, it would be shipped out the beginning of the week. I was told that the magnets were being replaced in several keys. Then another week went by without a key or a response to explain why there was yet another delay. I would have been okay with the delay had there been some communication, but unless I reached out, I never heard a word. I finally had to file with PayPal to get my money back. It sucks. I really wanted one of the keys, but there’s no excuse for not communicating with a customer when you have their hard earned money. I’m glad you were able to get one.

    • @BobGarrett66
      @BobGarrett66 3 місяці тому

      Why would you remove my post about my experience with my 5 week wait for my key and no response from Aaron and my need to request a refund from PayPal. Is that seriously the kind of UA-cam channel you want to run. That’s just sad. You don’t think others should know they may not be in for a positive experience. Just because you received your key doesn’t mean other shouldn’t be able to reply with their experience as well.
