I use N4PY to control my 2 Elecraft K2s. I also have it connected to Winkey and DX4WIN logging software. It’s a great combination. I’ve had a look at HRD and TRX-Manager, but prefer N4PY as the best programme to control the K2. Only one word of warning in that if you use the KRC2 controller

Hello everybody, I would be very interested in hearing your opinions about the KXPD1 Plug-in Keyer Paddle for the KX1. How does it feel? Is it adjustable? Is it worth the price? etc. I'm trying to decide if I want to include one when I order a KX1. I've been using a Whiterook Products MK-64

Paul, The KXPD1 is a bit pricier than the Whiterook, but the ATU and the paddle go together to make a rig that really does work with nothing else, just a couple of short wires. I started out without either, but realized that Elecraft was right, and making it self-contained is a big deal. The
