WB9LPU "AutoRoto V3"

[Ham4CW]

Not one of my keys but I think they're really excellent as far as fully automatic bugs go.

The designer/builder is Richard Meiss WB9LPU, and he is renowned for his amazing bugs, paddles, and these AutoRoto keys.

I'll let the video tell you the rest...

Mind-boggling ingenuity! I love it!

Not a squeeze key though (that would be asking too much of a mechanical device, ...wouldn't it...?). So  it's functionally the same as a single paddle.

I came across (one of) Richard's W9PLU websites, doesn't lok as though it's been updated for a while, though still contains interest stuff if you are prepared to grub around...

I also noticed some of the images are missing from the pages, but if you check out the PDF versions of his designs etc. the PDF's are complete.

He may have some other website that is more current. I did find one but it looked as though it had been hacked
