Performance and Control
The MFJ-495 is not just a keyer, it is a precision instrument for those who live telegraphy as an art. It offers unprecedented control thanks to dedicated front-panel controls for speed (5-99 WPM) and sidetone volume. Smart management of the "write-ahead" buffer lets you type on the keyboard while the unit is transmitting, ensuring perfect flow even in the most hectic sessions.
