You probably don't want to spend that much right away if you're deciding
whether CW is your thing or not, so probably a Bencher BY-1 or, I think,
MFJ makes a knockoff for less money.
Actually, Kent has a sale going on the dual-lever model for about 80
Euros, I think.
There have been a couple of recommendations for Tony's (N3ZN) paddles.
I can't agree more. I have the ZN-V and, for Christmas, the XYL bought
one of his new ZN-QRP paddles for me.
The perfect complement to the K3, of course, is the HexKey that Elecraft
sells, as K0PP mentioned.
I didn't start out to be a collector, but I now have the following:
Begali Sculpture
Elecraft HexKey
Ten-Tec 40th anniversary paddle
Long Island Mercury paddle, before it was sold by Bencher
Kent dual-lever (another gift from the XYL)
N3ZN ZN-V (vertical paddle, like the WBL paddles of days past)
Vibroplex Iambic
Vibroplex Code Warrior
March R-3A (on loan from a friend)
K8RA P-4 (four-pound monster)
N3ZN ZN-QRP
the venerable Bencher BY-1 and its MFJ counterpart, which started the
whole thing
and a few straight keys.

HI,
OK this is probably a hard question but I am looking at something other
than a straight key to try my hand at CW again. Thought it time to go back
to basics and QRP.
Single or Dual paddles , suggested paddles?
Open to suggestions ?
thanks in advance,
Cliff Vk2CCJ
