I really enjoy your videos Stan. I find your voice very relaxing. What a great key! I'm just starting to learn cw here in the UK. Maybe I'll look up KN4YB. 73

Thank you for this video. I just bought a Vibroplex and have had difficulty in getting the dits correctly set. I think I will sell that bug and get one like this.

Vibroplex bugs aren’t bad. They have been around over 100 years. They take practice and proper adjustment. That said, I am interested in the new straight spring version of this dual lever.

It's beautiful. I wonder how close it is to the Mecograph in construction. You might recall that vibroplex essentially had to buy Mecograph. I am especially interested in a right angle key that approximates the Mecograph, as inventor William O. Coffe was based in Cleveland, Ohio. 73 DE W8LV BILL😂

Purchased one of these keys when they first became available they're okay the first thing I did was remount the key on a larger piece of metal for the base. The key is way too light for my liking having to hold the key with two hands while operating sorta sucks. Dot to dash is funky I never could get a 100% smooth dot-to-dash transition it's hard to explain it just felt awkward. Maybe my hand coordination is ingrained to use a Vibroplex and I just need to retrain my hand coordination. Anyway, the key is well built just not my cup of tea mine sits on the shelf and hardly ever gets used.

Which key do you like better... the Viz Key vertical key or the DL-150? And thanks for posting the videos! 73

They are both very good keys at very fair prices but I must confess that this DL-150 is my personal favorite. Both have nice short throws and both operate FB at slower speeds. I think the right angle key is more stable in my own experience and doesn't budge a bit when I get over-zealous. I also found the DL-150 - at least so far - has not required any outboard de-scratching. Yeah......the more I reflect on it, the more I have to say that the DL-150 is the second best performing bug (for me) that I've ever owned. The top bug I've ever owned was an 80 year old McElroy 1938B and I'm sorry I sold it.

@@stanscoyote OK, thank you very much for your reply! I will probably get one of the DL 150s before long as it looks to be an excellent bug. Yeah, sorry you sold the McElroy... would love to get my hands on one of those as well... maybe sometime in the future. 73 es tu agn
