My husband used to do a lot of HAM radio, and loves morse code, and though I think the price on this set is reasonable, I won't be able to shake the "I could make that" feeling. In fact I wonder if there are simple logic based board designs for this... no micro controller just 74 series gates? hmmmThere are some very lovely little encoders out there. This device has little games to help you learn too.

@futurebird Surely all that is needed is any old Morse key and any old computer.I always found it easier to teach the computer to do morse code than to gain any proficiency myself.What's all this "Auto Base Magnetic Adsorbtion" stuff anyway?

@gdinwiddie It teaches you morse code. And tests you on morse code.

@gdinwiddie Yes and checks if you did it correctly. But it can also be used just to decode.

@futurebird I've been thinking about CB and/or Ham radio for emergencies. Does anyone know if it makes sense anymore?

@futurebird I decided to add morse to my ham radio skill set this year and I keep seeing those as well. For now I’m going to start with the long island cw club lessons I think, but yes there are also some open source hw plans for similar units.

@futurebird here is something that may be of interest, made by oe1wkl :awesome: https://github.com/oe1wkl/Morserino-32"It is a multi-functional Morse device (Keyer, Trainer, Decoder, even Transceiver etc.)"https://www.morserino.info/#73 de mazzo

@futurebird A quick look on ebay brings up quite a few antique morse code keys / bugs.(Tried a look on aliexpress too but they insisted I learn German, even tried Temu but they insist I play cholcolate wheel. :psyduck: )

@futurebird for that much, I’d expect the key to be a bug, not a regular if overbuilt traditional key. But you don’t use those for trainers.

@futurebird I’ve been enjoying https://www.dong.digital/morsemania/, but a physical trainer sounds like a wise investment after I take my general.
