Matt,

Check out k1el.com

Like Alan, I have a k42 and love it. K1el sells these keyers as kits but I 
believe there is a list on his site of hams who will, for a small fee, build 
it for you. There are a few folks on the list who use the winkey, another 
very popular k1el product. Good luck and 73. Lou WA3MIX
