CH‑5030 Portable Automatic CW Key – Single‑Paddle Morse Key with Magnetic Base for Mobile Ham Radio Transceivers The CH‑5030 is a compact, lightweight telegraph key designed for modern ham‑radio operators who need reliable CW (continuous‑wave) transmission on the go. Its automatic keyer circuitry eliminates the need for manual timing, while the single‑paddle layout offers intuitive left‑right keying with a sturdy, ultra‑strong magnetic base that sticks securely to metal surfaces. Weighing only 50 g and measuring 50 × 30 mm, the key fits perfectly on portable transceivers, field radios, and even on the dashboard of a mobile setup. Adjustable contacts on both sides give you precise control over keying speed, and the moderate hardness/softness of the metal rod ensures comfortable operation for long sessions. Master Morse Code with the CH-5030 Portable Magnetic Paddle Key The CH-5030 is the ultimate compact solution for amateur radio (ham radio) enthusiasts who practice Continuous Wave (CW) communication. This fully automatic Morse code keyer is engineered for operators who value portability, stability, and precision, whether at home, in the field, or in a mobile setup. Precision Engineering for Flawless Operation Crafted with a responsive single paddle, the CH-5030 allows for smooth and rapid keying. The manually adjustable contacts on both sides let you perfectly customize the tactile feedback and spacing to match your personal fist (keying style), ensuring comfortable and accurate sending during long QSOs. Unshakable Stability with Powerful Magnet Base Forget clamps and bulky mounts. The integrated base features four ultra-strong neodymium magnets, providing a incredibly secure and stable connection to any steel surface. Mount it effortlessly on your mobile transceiver, a field operating table, or any metal surface for a rock-solid foundation that won’t slip during intense contesting or casual operating.

A: Yes, the CH-5030 uses a standard 3.5 mm plug and is compatible with most HF transceivers including Icom IC-705, Elecraft KX2/KX3, Yaesu FT-818, and Xiegu X6100. Q: Can the CH-5030 be used on a non-metal surface? A: Yes, a round metal disc with adhesive tape is included. Attach it to any flat surface, and the magnetic base will lock onto it securely. Q: Is this a manual or automatic CW key? A: The CH-5030 is a single paddle key designed for automatic (iambic) keying when connected to a transceiver or external keyer with built-in keyer functionality. Q: How small is the CH-5030 compared to other CW keys? A: At just 50 × 30 mm and 50 g, the CH-5030 is one of the most compact single paddle CW keys available, making it ideal for backpack portable operations. Q: What is an automatic CW key? A: An automatic CW keyer generates Morse code automatically, letting you focus on sending messages without worrying about timing or rhythm. Q: How does the magnetic base improve stability? A: Four strong magnets create a firm, metal‑to‑metal bond, preventing the key from sliding during high‑speed keying. Q: Is the key adjustable for different operators? A: Yes – the contacts on both sides can be manually tuned to suit your preferred keying force and speed.
