David:
I would keep the Hex Key on order. It is an excellent iambic
key. I would keep it and try. If you never have a true iambic key,
you'll never be able to find out if you really want one, so it is a
good educational investment. I have a Hex Key, which I like a good
deal. I prefer non-magnetic types, such as my WBL, but I would not be
at all unhappy if I had only the Hex Key. Go at all of this with a
positive, can-do attitude and enjoy. Nothing worthwhile comes
easily, but most worthwhile things are fun to attain.
best wishes, and good luck,
dave belsley, w1euy

I have a K3 on order and purchased a HexKey at the same time,
thinking it
would be rather nice to have a key from Elecraft to go with the K3.
However, as yet I can't send any Morse, having only got to the
point of
'almost' reading it all, and that at rather low speed.
So, I'm not sure whether to keep the HexKey on order, since
shipment to the
UK would be expensive if I wasn't shipping the K3 + as well. Or if
I should
go for a much cheaper single paddle alternative from the UK.
I know this will be a matter of personal preference, but that's
hard to make
with previous experience at all to fall back to.

I have chimed in here against my better judgement because I feel this
is an issue that has to be solved by each individual. I know nothing
I say is going to change the minds of the "fundamentalists" on issues
like these, but for those who are still trying to figure out how the
wind blows, I simply say, "put up your own wetted finger and come to
your own conclusions -- they are the only ones that count."
