I just received the perfect accessory for my KX1 a new iambic paddle designed and built by Richard Meiss WB8LPU. Now I love my KX1 and the KXPD1 is a nice paddle, but I need to have that tactile feel of a regular paddle.
The "KXer" uses the existing mounting connections connecting directly to the KX-1, or you can use it in the stand-alone mode with a brass tripod base. The paddle itself is the iambic type, with the tension provided by opposed magnets mounted on the inside of the paddle arms. It has the feel of a bigger paddle crisp action, definite stops at the end of the travel, and no "drag" while the paddle is moving. If you have a KX1 then you really need to check this paddle out. I believe I have the first production model of the KXer, and I could not be happier. The Form, Fit, Function, and Finish are Fantastic. I have no connection to Richard Meiss, other than the fact that I am one very happy and excited customer.
