BHC BirdyKey

Z73 Miniature Keys

What the modern Chinese ham is using...

BHC BirdyKeys are making a name for themselves in China, and now for the first time they are available in the US. The Z73 is a miniature brass key, reminiscent of some of the finer work of European keymakers.

The design is "rear pivot," providing for leverage equivalent to full length of the key. Contact spacing determined by an adjustment screw on the front yoke, and the silver contacts are located below the adjustment screw. . Connection is via miniature binding posts at the rear, and wiring to the lower front (hot) contact is chased in the bottom of the brass base. A hard-plastic sub-base provides for scratch free usage on delicate surfaces. The needle bearings on the trunnion are fully adjustable, and lever tension is applied by a compression spring near the middle of the lever. The plate over the rear yoke carries a 3-digit serial number. The mechanism is solid brass, with a natural satin finish which will darken over time.

Base dimensions are 2-1/8" by 3/4" wide, and the total height is 1-1/4" from table to the flat top of the knob. The Z-73 weighs 3-1/4 Ounces, and keying force is down through the base so the little key is surprising stable in use.

Each BirdyKey Z73 is supplied in a fitted case with magnetic closure.
