Hi:
Is there a keyer that would work as a practice oscillator for iambic paddles? I've seen plenty of keyers advertised, but none say anything about being able to be used standalone for practice.
My xcvr has a keyer that I can turn off the transmit, but if I'm away from the radio, I would like to be able to practice.
I'm not averse to building kits, if that's the best way of getting what I want (I would prefer a case to be available, though).

Most keyers have a built-in sidetone that you can use to practice. So, get whatever keyer you like and have at it.

I practice with the Logikey K5.
It has a lot of cool features.
I bought mine from Morse Express.

Add the PicoKeyer as a low-cost kit ($16 basic, $18 "Plus" ) with built-in tiny loudspeaker:
