I recently bought a used by 1 and and having a huge gap in my knowledge of code keys.
Bencher by 1 or by 2.
The underside of the by 1 has 3 female and male disconnect terminals for ground and each of the dit and dah connections.
Hf transceivers equipped with either a 3 5mm 1 8 or 1 4 key input jack can be hooked right up with the ez 1 kit.
The by 1 is a well rounded key.
A good alternative in the mfj 564 that comes in around 118 00 new or around half on that used.
Adjusting a bencher by 1.
You can use the ez 1 cable for this too.
By 1 dual paddle chrome plated on black base.
Like the vibroplex bug the bencher by 1 is everywhere.
Available in either black powdercoat or chrome.
The by 1 comes in around 170 00 new and you can find them at half that price used.
And since you ll probably own one someday anyway you might as well buy one right off the bat and save the suspense.
Some ops love them some ops don t.
