CK-1 WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

KEYING TRANSISTORIZED TRANSCEIVERS

Some transistorized transceivers such as the ICOM 701 and the Ten-Tec line require a slight modi-
fication of the AEA keyer. With this modification a reed relay is not required for proper keying.

if the CK-1 does not key your transceiver, check your transceivers key input polarity with respect to
chassis ground. If positive, modify the unit as follows:

A. Remove the keyer from case and locate the diode closest to the speaker (D4).
B. Solder a jumper across this diode.
C. Reassemble the keyer

IMPORTANT!
If the keyer is to be used with a transceiver or transmitter with negative keying polarity, such as a
vacuum tube transmitter with grid blocked keying, it is necessary to remove this jumper.

OPERATION

I. General

The AEA keyer Model CK-1 has been designed for the serious CW operator. It features a versatile
memory load and edit capability, automatic serial number, rapid CW speed changes an full weigh-
ting control.

II. Keyer

1.

Speed Change and Set

. Two methods of CW speed control are available, variable and pre-

set.

Preset Speed
Two  presentable  speeds  may  be  stored  and  quickly  recalled.  To  store  speed  "A",  press

,  when  N  N  is  the  two  digit  speed  in  wpm  desired.  Similarly,  for  storing  speed  "B",

press 

.

The keyer will be set to the last speed entered.
When the keyer is turned on, speeds "A" and "B" are initialized to 20 and 30 wpm respectively.
To recall speed "A", press 

 and to recall speed "B", press 

.

Example: To store 5 and 15 wpm in speeds "A" and "B":

Press

,
.

Now, to change from 15 wpm to 5 wpm, press 

. To change back to 15, press 

.

Variable Speed Adjustment
A "variable" speed setting is also available. To increase speed, press 

 and hold the 6 until

the desired speed is reached. The keyer will send alternating dots and dash during the change.
To reduce speed, press 

 and hold the 7.
