Howard,

If you only want keyboard CW, you can do what I did and get one of the K1EL 
keyboard keyers.  the K40 was only $60 and I absolutely love it. it is a kit 
so you may need someone to assemble it for you but it only takes a few 
hours.  Check out

Of course, as had been pointed out, hooking the rig up to the computer will 
give you many more benefits in addition to just keyboard cw.  Lou
