Shipping, Customs & Duties Notice

For the logistics services we use, shipments to most major developed countries are delivered door to door, and the shipping fee includes customs clearance, duties, and taxes. If a particular destination, route, or carrier requires the buyer to pay import duties/taxes separately or provide information for customs declaration or clearance, we will contact you before shipment and will only ship after confirming the required information with you. Please order with confidence and do not worry about unexpected customs charges after purchase.

Learn Morse code the visual way

Most people give up on Morse code because memorizing dot-dash tables is boring. This pocket-sized PCB trainer turns the classic Morse decoding tree into an interactive light path: every dot and dash you key in is traced live by LEDs across the board, so you can see how E becomes A, A becomes R, and R becomes L. Your fingers and eyes learn the code together.

The front of the card is a gold-on-black Morse alphabet chart with gold-plated pads — it doubles as a reference card even when powered off. The back carries the electronics: tactile Morse key, buzzer, LEDs, and slide switches, all running off a single CR2032 coin cell with under 10 µA standby current.

Features

  • LED path guidance — LEDs trace the Morse decoding tree branch by branch as you key in dots and dashes, giving instant visual feedback on every character.
  • Real Morse key input — Short press for dot, long press for dash. Practice real keying rhythm, not just flashcards.
  • Record & playback — Record a sequence with the REC button, then play it back to test yourself or send a hidden message to a friend.
  • Mute mode — Silence the buzzer and practice with lights only. Perfect for classrooms, offices, and late-night sessions.
  • Integrated alphabet chart — The full A-Z decoding tree is printed on the front in gold. Decode at a glance, no phone app needed.
  • Truly pocket-sized — 54 x 40 x 7.7 mm, 11 g, with a lanyard/keyring hole.
  • Months of battery life — 3V CR2032 coin cell, under 10 µA standby draw.

How it works

  • Initial setup — Slide up the Main Power switch (K1) and the Main Function switch (K4).
  • Train — Key in Morse with the red key: short press for dot, long press for dash. Watch the LED path walk down the decoding tree to the letter you just sent.
  • Mute mode — Slide up K2 to practice silently with lights only.
  • Record & playback — Slide up K5, press REC, key in your message, then slide up K3 to play it back.
