Hi there I just found a pretty neat Morse code device that plugs into your radio transceiver and basically its like a keyboard so for example you'd type the letter E and it will transmit the letter E in Morse. I did not know these even existed but I think these are brilliant for people who want to get into Morse code or do Morse code just by typing on the keyboard. I don't know if anybody else has seen one of these, maybe there are lots of them about? but I certainly haven't seen any about until now. I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one of these, they look like great fun.
I tried to upload the picture of it but I'm unable to due to an error

That thing looks about a hundred years old.
There are a zillion computer programs that do that stuff, most for free.

CW Get for decoding and CW Type for encoding are great but as above, nothing beats a good key.
I use one of these.

Nice key andy, All thats missing now is a rant from windy about how outdated CW is, I reckon he'll give us his worn out opinion the minute he spies this thread, Get the popcorn inandymuza wrote:CW Get for decoding and CW Type for encoding are great but as above, nothing beats a good key.

Digital maybe more efficient etc etc, But involves high tech equipment, With CW all ya need is a handfull of components and yer on the air

Ha ha, I await his worldly wisdom on the subject.
Oh and don't forget we have to move out into the sticks in order to run HF properly.
