I prefer a single paddle, but I first learned with a bug (I'm 53)
My son prefers dual paddles, but that's what he learned with (he's 29)

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Opinion of the KXPD3 for kx3?
It must be an age-related thing. I'm 78 and seem to do better with a
single lever paddle, my preferred models being the Kent and the Palm
Single. I have a Begali Adventure Mono for my KX2 which is OK but the
adjustments are quite critical.
