Grid Block Keying Adapter - SOLD OUT 1/27/2004

Replacement: the new Keyall kit


The Grid block keying adapter allows the owner of a keyer with a low voltage positive (NPN) keying transistor to drive the vacuum tube transmitters and transceivers of yesteryear. This unit will key negative voltages up to 150 volts. It uses the time proven MJE350 PNP transistor design from the Curtis keyer application note. This unit will not work with high positive keying voltages such as those found in cathode keyed vacuum tube transmitters.

  • Size is 1 x 1.5 inches.
  • Price was $6.00 plus $2.00 shipping/handling in USA
