mined  by  the  time  constant  of  resistors  R90
and R100, with capacitors C90 and C100.

The  output  signals  from  the  collectors  of  Q9
and  Q10  are  fed  to  the  primary  winding  of
audio  output  transformer  T2. Capacitor  C101
prevents  any  DC  voltage  from  reaching  the
transformer. The  signal  from  the  secondary
winding of T2 is connected across volume con-
trol  R102. The  wiper  of  the  volume  control  is
connected  to  the  speaker. The  control  my  be
adjusted for the desired listening level.

If  desired,  the  receiver  output  may  be  con-
nected  between  GND  and  the  Receiver  Audio
terminals. This allows the audio to be heard in
headphones  connected  to  the  Phone  jack  of
the  Electronic  Keyer.  The  speaker  of  the  Elec-
tronic Keyer cannot be used when a receiver is
connected,  as  it  is  of  too  high  an  impedance
and  cannot  handle  the  output  level  of  the  re-
ceiver. If speaker operation is desired, the indi-
vidual speakers of the Electronic Keyer and the
receiver must be used.
