Ron, I use a Bencher BY-1 that I bought used on eBay. I don't do too much CW, so it was a great purchase for me. It's inexpensive, solidly built, and the foundation level key from one of the top names in CW paddles, if you don't want to pay for a Vibroplex.
Hope this helps. 73, --Ian Ian Kahn, KM4IK Roswell, GA EM74ua [email protected] K3 #281, P3 #688 HRD v5.x/6.0 Test Team On 6/24/2012 8:23 PM, Ronald Nutter wrote: > Thanks to all that have responded to my previous questions. > > The next thing I am looking at is getting a CW key.
