I do not have a single lever paddle for sale, but I suffer from similar

I think I'd like to see Ultimatic mode too, I'm thinking I'll have to
learn Iambic though, because most rigs don't support Ultimatic.
But Ultimatic does sound like the easier and frankly, more logical mode.
Maybe I'll have to borrow a friends keyer to give it a try.

A lot of people talk about how difficult squeeze keying is to learn. I
sure don't want to lessen their position, but I confess I find it
baffling. To me squeeze keying is very natural and intuitive. I went
from a straight key to a keyer years ago without learning a bug or
cootie key. Maybe

David,
If you want Ultimatic mode, look at the K1EL keyers (Google for URL),
the K12 is the low end keyer that supports Ultimatic and is priced at
$17 USD with no enclosure - it is small enough to fit inside many
transceivers but I put mine in a small box to be used with several
different
Thanks Don, I was just looking at the WKUSB, but will look at the K12
because I could do the same.
I guess since the keyers use the key in jack of the K3, I can still
use the message records of the K3 too? And not quite sure what the PTT
jack on the WKUSB is for?

Yes, I thought that is probably the way to go, but it does mean I'd
have to carry the keyer around and I liked the idea of having the
keyer in the K3 (not to mention that I hope to use a KX1 someday).
Thanks for confirmation of that being the way to go.
Ideally, elecraft will implement

I'm a little puzzled by the issue of dual vs. single-lever paddles. I used a
bug for almost 20 years then built and used a Iambic Accu-keyer for almost
as long before returning to the bug about a decade ago.
I switch a lot between paddles and mechanical keys because paddles,

Well I think I do. I bought a Vibroplex back in 1950 and got used to it.
I tried to go iambic in the mid 70s and failed, tried again with the K1 in 2003
(mode a). Using an iambic key is too many mistakes for me.

your ham budget can afford (the Bengali is outside my price range), I
suggest that you try one of the K1EL keyers in Ultimatic mode - it works
Hi Ralph,
So any comments from Kent single lever key owners?
Does anyone want to sell one?
Does anyone in the US sell them?
I bought the Kent Single-Level paddle ($140) from HRO here in Denver a
few months ago. Having seen some discussion on this reflector I thought
I'd give it a try. I've
Take a look at N3ZN's single lever key:
http://www.n3znkeys.com/modelznSL.html
While the price might be a bit higher than you're looking at, his keys
are excellent quality and craftsmanship. I prefer my N3ZN iambic key
over the revered Profi sitting beside it in the shack. The Profi has
