I have been reading the emails on paddles and especially the KXPD1. I hesitated about the paddle when I was thinking of getting a KX1. I hated to spend that much money for a paddle. Usually since I am retired and do not make much money I have to sell in order to buy. Well, this time I got some money that I was not expecting which would cover the KX1 and all the perks. I am not disappointed. I like the KXPD1 very much. I have alway accepted the Apostle Paul's message that whatever circumstances we find ourselves to be content!!
Through the 44 years I have had keys, Vibroplex paddles, Bencher paddles, etc. I did purchase years ago Vibroplex Bug! Was that ever a mistake. My first thought was .... How can I get rid of this thing!! <g> In fact if I detect a guy or gal using a bug and calling CQ I will QSY immediately. However, after saying all that .... at the National Museum of Amer. History in Wash. DC where I volunteer on Wed's, we have a Bencher Paddle and a Vibroplex Bug and I am trying to learn to send on that "blasted" Bug!! And when I try to adjust the weight I go crazy! Of course I consider myself a new comer to CW because I did no CW from 1985 to 2003. Paul, KD3JF On the double paddles I never squeeze for I just touch softly and I am very pleased!
