Mike, I found that if you run the audio output of the TiCK-1 through a .01
capacitor to the white lead on the selectivity switch of the HW-8, you will
get much better audio than you will from the transducer. I am a bit hard of
hearing, and the transducer was just too hard for me to hear. You will get
lots of audio using this method, and it sounds much better. Also, it saves
needing, and having to mount the transducer. Remember, I am using just 3
volts on the keyer. If you use more, you may need less audio to the
selectivity switch. I have not tried it with more voltage.

73,

Jim, K5ROV
