I had Rose Kopp make me a ZN-SLR paddle dust cover. She called Tony for
the dimensions. It fits perfectly. Bonus: If I so choose, I can
actually use the paddle with the cover on it.

dates to September 10. This caused quite a bit of confusion when
suppliers I dealt with over a year ago were being asked "by me" to trace
lost shipments, give a price quote, etc.
I was unable to find any evidence of emails being resent to any targets
other than ham radio suppl

100% of my operating is CW and 95% of that is at 18 - 22 wpm which is a
nice, comfortable, copy-in-my-head ragchew speed - and I'm a slapper.
My present paddle is a Scheunemann-Morsetasten SP-1 (single lever and
springs).
Thanks,

and may not be an ideal match for the K2.
Suggestions surely appreciated.

Hi folks. I'm a HF QRP/CW op - always have been; always will be.
Having said this, will I get a reasonable "bang for the buck" if I
purchase the KAF2 option?
I presently own the K2/10, KAT2, and KNB2.
Real world opinions solicited....

y since it was able to resolve a 12:1 SWR on a 40 meter dipole

Ken and Brett, thanks for your responses. It's all helpful. I have to

re but I thought
I'd ask anyway.
My fundamental question: Does the KAT2 get along with the DX-EE on all
bands?
