Alan, some times I use my board when the speed gets too high for my hand to 
handel the paddels.   I use a home brew keyer with a normal computer board 
plugged in the rear of the keyer.  I think M F J has some keyers that a 
normal board can be used but they also have some
units where the keyer ins all self contained.  good luck and 73.  Ed   K7UC
