The KR1B works with Ten Tec transceivers like the Corsair that have a build-in keyer. The iambic paddles use an electromagnetic system to produce keying resistance. The result is a strange (for me) "release" as the magnetic field breaks loose from the resting position. These keyers are known for, and Ten tec used to advertise as a feature, their "clickiness" as characters are formed. I find the clicking annoying. The keyer itself is too light and tends to skate quite easily on the table. The gap is crudely adjustable, but seems to stay put once set.
