The Blackwidow paddle is a good addition for a kit built
How about making our own Hex Key covers?

The trick is often in cutting or drilling it cleanly and squarely
I have the BY-1 the Hex Key.
I use a light touch on both.
Tried a heavy touch with the Bencher. It's hard for me to imagine
slapping it
around enough to mess things up. That's some heavy use!
Just my opinion.

Well
I guess I'm going to have to order a Begali.
Seems to clearly be the first choice here.
But, which model?

Also worth consideration is the Bencher Hex key available from Elecraft.
I have the Bencher BY-1 and the Kent TP-1, both good keys but the Hex key
is much smoother. (IMHO)

Keith,
I would say yes. The Kent has a mechanical feel and sound to it (which
isn't necessarily bad).
The Hex key is much quieter and smoother in operation. The Hex key of
course uses magnets
which gives it a totally different feel.
The flex on the arms is not a factor if you don't slap it
I use one for mobile work on my Sonoma pu with a KX1.
Works quite well. ;-)

That sounds liks fun John.
My next project is to try /PM with the KX1.
Not quite as exciting but I worked VK9LNO last night with the KX1 and a
longwire on 30 mtrs. running about 3 watts.
I'm still amazed by the little rig!

Darwin,
I have the K2 and the KX1 which I really enjoy.
I guess I'm going to have to get a K1 to see if you are telling the truth :

What antenna are you using?
I'm using a Spiro sloper model VS-64.
Height is about 35' sloping to ground and using an 8' ground rod.
Gets me on 160 and the at on the K2 tunes the rest of the bands pretty well.

I use four desk drawer bumper pads. They are sticky on one side to
mount to the fan, round and about 3/8 diameter with enough friction to
keep the fan in place.
Works for me.
