[Island Keyer II circuit board picture - click for larger version] The Island Keyer II descended from the original Island Keyer first sold in 1996. Although NOT pin compatible with the original, the Island Keyer II has a similar concept - a non-volatile memory keyer with smooth pot speed control. However, the Island Keyer II has a large number of new additional features. Here are a few highlights:

  • 5 to 70 WPM speed range
  • 56 non-volatile memories
  • Straight key recording / command
  • Ultimatic mode as well as iambic a or b modes
  • machine pin sockets included
  • board size (2 by 1.5 inches)
  • just add your metal enclosure, battery holder, switches and I/O jacks to complete the kit
  • Kit price including manual is $33 + $3 USA shipping/handling
  • Kit price (No manual) is $30 + $3 USA shipping/handling
  • DX (outside the USA) add $3.00 to USA prices

  • add a Kyocera piezo speaker for $1 more
  • Mail in your order (cash/check/money order) and receive a free MOSFET keying transistor and two weight/tone trim pots, a $2 value


  • Download the manual and schematic to save $3 by printing your own!
