In all pictures of this keyer, the screws that secure the front and rear panels to the enclosure are Phillips head, #6 or the equivilent JIC head. The screws in the keyer I received are not. They are tiny. How tiny? I have a watchmakers tool set, and the smallest flat-blade screwdriver has a width less than 0.3mm. These screws - flat head, slot-type machine screws, not Phillips dome-head as shown - used on this are even smaller than that tiny watchmakers screwdriver. Since I cannot (at the moment) open the case, I can't install batteries, or find out if this keyer even works. I suppose it's theoretically possible to drill out the installed screws, then enlarge the holes in face- and rear-plate and enclosure, then tap and re-thread the enclosure for a very small machine screw - one that is available. That idea sounds like a really, really bad first step for a brand new item.This thing may as well be welded shut. The pictures are incorrect and misleading. If I cannot find or make a driver to open the case, this item is going back. None of this should be necessary - it's ridiculous.

This was obviously a returned item that wasn't checked before sending it to me. The screws were loose, one screw was missing, there were local brand batteries in it (President's Choice), the speed pot was loose, and it came with a completely unrelated piece of plastic, probably from the previous owner. I'm not complaining though because it's cheap, and I bought this to make some mods to it anyway. I replaced the battery holder with a buck converter so I could power it from my transceiver's 12 volt power supply, and removed the internal little buzzer so I could feed the power cable through the hole for that buzzer.The CW keyer works totally fine. I feel that the speed pod works "backwards" (turn counter clock wise to increase speed), so I may modify that too. I bought this to key an old Ten-Tec Corsair that doesn't have a built-in keyer, and it works flawlessly for that.
