WW2 J-37 KEY (Shown with KY-116/U Leg Clamp) Mfr: JFC
This key was used in Aircraft and Land-based Operations
Features: J-37 Radio-Telegraph Key (WW2)
- Key mounted on a metal "U" shaped bracket (to fit leg) KY-116/U.
- Bracket hindged to allow intermittent operation on flat surface.
- 6' Rubberized cord with a brass 1/4" plug.
- Adjustments: Contact spacing and alignment; Downward closure tension.
- Large contact surface (will key higher current circuits).
- Bracket assembly painted black, some plated key parts, silver contacts.
- Durable design, cord anchored to avoid terminal tension.
- Knurled hardware on key electrical terminals.
NOTE: This model key has been used at WB6FZH with many military and amateur radio configurations. It has served well, and aside from the discomfort of the leg clamp, it is a key that can last a lifetime. It's design does not suffer the fate of the J-38 with metal fatique during long term use.
This Key is used with the TCS-12 Transmitter/HRO-W Receiver Station at WB6FZH/KH6. The only difference is the change to a PL-68 plug that keys the PTT relay during CW operation. The TCS uses the same PJ-68 jack for microphone and key connection.
Historical and Technical Information will be added later-Greg
