I agree with Don about the HexKey from Elecraft. Among other things, it complements my K1, K2, K3 and (soon) KX3.
My previous favorite is the Mercury paddle that I bought at Pacificon in the late 90s. It was custom-made by the person who acquired the rights to reproduce the original N2DAN Mercury paddle, before Bencher acquired the rights. Last Thursday I received my Begali Sculpture paddle, and my friend Jay, W5JAY, pointed me to Tony's website, so I also have a ZN-V vertical paddle on order from N3ZN that should be here around the end of next month. It's going to be difficult to choose a favorite from the above, I'm sure. Out of curiosity, I looked at auctions for J-38 straight keys. Someone has one listed with a "Buy it Now" price of $149! It doesn't look to be in as good shape as one that has a similar price of $50. 72/73 de Jim - AD6CW ______________________________________________________________ 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
