A sleeper of a paddle is the Whiterook MK-44 from electronicsusa.com. I hesitate to call it a cheap paddle, as that tends to refer to an inferior product. It is a robust, affordable, lightweight paddle that will continue to work even after you throw it at a wall. For a few pennies, you can add a velcro leg strap to it for field use.
Whiterook also offers the TiCK keyer to this same paddle, called the MK-64. I have been running both the paddle and the paddle/keyer for nearly twenty years and they have proven to be a joy to use. I was drawn to the MK-64 paddle/keyer for use in the monthly Spartan Sprint activity for its extremely low weight and low current. I still have the same coin cell in it that I installed nearly twenty years ago. They offer other products, single lever paddles, straight keys, combos. They will certainly not break the bank. 72, Howard Kraus, K2UD ______________________________________________________________ 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]
