Hello,
I'm a "no-code-ham" determined to become a "know-code-ham" and so have signed up to a course by CWops. They require a paddle for sending practice since lessons will be done at 20-wpm. Having researched the topic of 'paddles' and from that effort, I think that a single paddle might work best for me. Here are the negative items which helped form that opinion: 1. a comment that regular practice is needed to maintain competence with a dual-paddle, 2. iambic-a or iambic-b just seem physically complicated. In reading my KX3-manual and Fred-KE7X's book, it seems to me that the KXPD3 is capable of only dual-paddle operating. Or have I missed something? I understand that my KX3 has a second port for an external key (I presume a single-paddle). In the past, I recall seeing photos of hams working KX3-portable with a straight-key but, at those times, I did not pay attention if any had a paddle. TIA for any reply. 73 Jerry KM3K ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
