The Vibroplex Story

WELCOME TO VIBROPLEX©
  Yes, welcome to Vibroplex,® the oldest name in ham radio! For over a hundred years we've been producing The Vibroplex Original Bug while at the same time adding a variety of other keys to suit the taste of virtually every amateur radio operator.
  Vibroplex® is pleased to announce the LITE WARRIOR, an aluminum base version of the NORCAL K8FF Code Warrior Jr. QRP key! Why an aluminum
base? Portability and weight . . . and looks. The LITE WARRIOR weighs in at under a pound, but still retains the Code Warrior Jr. sizing, making this key a natural for traveling "lite." Looks very similar to its heavier brother, the CHROME WARRIOR. Just like the other "Warriors," the LITE WARRIOR features polished brass upper parts with the unique Vibroplex® logo and serial number engraved on the center block!  Go to the LITE WARRIOR page

  The Vibroplex® 100th ANNIVERSARY ORIGINAL BUG (1904-2004) duplicates one of the most popular early bases, a "weathered" black Japanese-
like powdered coat finish with gold pin stripe border. Chromed upper parts match the Standard Original Bug with black paddles and unique serial numbers. This special edition - available in limited quantities - honors the revolution in communication that occurred with the invention of the "bug," which was designed to alleviate the problem of what we now call "carpal tunnel syndrome" and at the same time provide a key that made much faster sending possible.

  The Vibroplex©  Iambic Deluxe is the modern descendent of the Original
 
It incorporates the traditional Vibroplex© look for use with modern electronic keyers. The code speed with the Iambic depends on the particular electronic keyer with which it is operated. And, you get the same crisp operation at 5 words per minute as you do at 50+ wpm.  Available in three additional models. Go to the Iambic page
