Ron,
Nye-Viking certainly would be a good choice for a straight key. I recommend taking a look at the new-old stock Czech military keys on eBay. I have one, and it is very smooth. It looks unusual, but if you take it into the field at all with your KX3, that cover will do a nice job of keeping the 'skeeters out! ;-) With best regards, Pete W1PNS ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ronald Nutter" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 24, 2012 8:23:51 PM Subject: [Elecraft] CW Key suggestions ? Thanks to all that have responded to my previous questions. The next thing I am looking at is getting a CW key. I am thinking about getting the "plug-in" key that is an option for KX3. Since the KX3 that I have ordered probably wont be in my hands until sometime around Christmas based on the other emails I see of order date to ship date, I am looking at getting a CW key for the FT817 I will be using in the interim. I am thinking about possibly getting two different keys - a straight key, possibly a Nye-Viking type and maybe something similar to the Iambic keyer paddle as my cw skills improve. While I probably wont do CW all of the time, it doesnt hurt to be more fluent in that mode than I currently am. Would appreciate any suggestions in this area that anyone here has. Thanks, Ron KA4KYI ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
