I'm in the process of building my K2 and I started looking for a paddle/key to use for CW when I'm finished. I haven't used CW in over 20 years and I never was very proficient with a keyer. I saw a paddle and key combination in a ham dealer catalog but it was quite pricey. I liked the combo unit since I could practice my iambic paddle technique while actually being able to make QSO's with the key.
During my search on the internet I found that Kent (which makes excellent paddles I'm told) makes a combo unit exclusively for a dealer in the UK called Waters & Stanton. Both the paddle and the key mounted on a black base costs $98USD. I didn't think you could even get just a Kent paddle for that amount of money. Both the paddle and the key have ball bearing movements. Quantities are limited so I went ahead and ordered one. I'll post a quick note when I receive it. If anyone is interested, go to the Waters & Stanton website (www.wsplc.com) and search for "kent-two". 73s, Kevin N8IQ _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
