Key/Paddle : The HB-1B has an automatic function that determines what type of
key is being used and is initiated on power up. You will hear (in CW) the sound of
the letter "A" if a paddle is connected or the letter "M" if a straight key is connected.
Connect tip to paddle dot or straight key's contractor. Connect ring to paddle dash
or straight key's ground. Connect to sleeve paddle's ground. Tie ring and sleeve
together for straight key. Must plug the straight key first before power up to activity.
