    have you contacted ramsey awod wrote:
    Anyone out there have advice in troubleshooting this keyer? I double- checked all components twice. Checked for solder bridges...found none.
    There are two capacitors (C2, C3: 0.1uF each) that may have been damaged slightly and I will replace. However, C2 is in the TONE circuit and C3
    is in the Audio AMP circuit.

    The problem sounds like a problem with NAND / NOR gates...I get a
    constant tone when paddle jack is shorted (for dots or dashes). This
    tone has msec. interruptions that can be adjusted...in other words, tiny interruptions in a constant tone, but no CODE...no dits, no dahs.

    Anyone have experience with cw7C keyer by Ramsey?
