I didn't say anything against Richard, nor did I intend to. It is up to
his potential customers to decide the personal utility they will gain
from them.
I only offered an obvious (turns out it was so obvious Palm had already
done it) solution to mounting a magnetic paddle. Frankly, replacing an
entire radio side cover with a steel replica would never have occured to
me as a solution, butI'm not in the accessories business.

Personally, as a left handed keyer, the Palm radio side unit isn't a
great
help, neither is the thin strip of metal and tape idea, as I'd need
them on
the side of the radio with all of the sockets... That and the fact that I
already have fitted the 'Side KX' panels, so any alternative steel unit
wouldn't be of use to me.
Some people can and do, others prefer to let an organisation like Palm
Radio do
something for them.
I've bought antennas and poles from Richard at SOTA, they work well
and I've
had a lot of use out of them. He's providing other products and
services that might be of use to other people. Just because some of
us don't want or need them doesn't mean that they wont be attractive
to other people with different wants or needs.

Either way, it would be an easy matter to neatly cut a strip of thin
steel
to match the Palm Paddle and stick it in place where ever you want with
double sticky cellophane tape. When you no longer want it, soak it off
with Goo Gone or similar.
Hobby stores carry K&S Metal products including small sheets of
0.008" or
0.013" tinned carbon steel. Easy to paint it to match too.
That would work with any radio without needing a whole new sideplate.
