Using a mechanical Bug or SK with a Maestro?

A straight key with the Maestro is no problem. As a bug is also a make/break key, it should work as well. However, you need to go into a menu to switch between iambic keying and a straight key.

If it’s a real mechanical bug, it plugs in and is seen as a straight key.

Thanks to both for the quick response0

Thanks, look forward to ordering but, if I am reading the website correctly, maestros are not available until Fall.0

If I remember correctly, there is a slight bug when using a straight key with the Maestro vs the radio.
It will be in the settings and you may have to do a Reverse on the Maestro if I remember correctly. (it has been a while).
But, yes, it does work.

I switch back and forth from a SK and paddle all the time with my Maestro. There is an iambic “Enable/Disable” button in the CW menu. It’s easy to get to and works fine. No problem.
