Hi Mike! I have the Palm Paddle tapped and screwed to the side of my K2. My K1 also had one expoxied to the right side of the radio. I forgot who on this list bought my K1-4 but he can tell you his experience.
There are magnets too but they don't stick well to the aluminum cabinet of the K1. I had one that stuck really well to the steel case of my FT-817. They are light for stand-alone use but before I mounted them permanantly I used the old straight key two handed keying technique...hold the key/paddle with left hand while sending with the right. 8-) Very light touch..I like them now better than my Brown Brothers. The paddles* themselves slide turtle-like inside the hard protective shell when not in use. 73 de Tom K2TA *while many people, myself included, refer to the entire key as a "keyer paddle" when I refer to the lever/finger-pad assembly I use the term "paddle" if it is a single lever movement and "paddles" if there are two independent finger pads...as in ping-pong paddles. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Markowski" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 05, 2006 1:45 PM Subject: [Elecraft] Integrated paddles for K1? > Hi all, > > I'm planning a K1 purchase and am considering buying the tilt stand whose > description says, "You can also attach a lightweight keyer paddle directly to > the stand."
