How To Build An Automatic CW Keyer For Ham Radio

I created this video for anyone considering building a Ham kit to add to your gear. This video documents each step approaching each part to add to the PCB. I am not someone who would build gear; I usually would buy it already built. This video is a step-by-step guide to building the PicoKeyer Automatic CW Key. I added chapter markers so you can jump to any section you need. Thanks for checking out my first Ham Kit build.
