[CW] Need info on a Kenpro model KK-50 key

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

The Kenpro key is made in Japan and is a lesser known Japanese key, of who 
the well known key makers are Hi-Mound, GHD and Kenpro.  JRC used to make 
keys, but does no more.

The Kenpro key that I've seen has a nice long lever.  Congratulations on 
getting a long lever key - those are the ones I especially like for their 
ease in use.

Kenpro is owned by Vertex-Standard which is the company which also knows 
Yaesu.

Gentlemen: I just acquired an unusual key that I was not familiar from a 
ebay
seller. It is a Kenpro Model KK-50 straight manual key. I really am 
impressed
with how well this key is made!! It is rugged and heavy and has an excellent
feel and is fully adjustable. It has a "drawer pull" type of knob with a
skirt. It resembles the Marconi type keys that are being made. Does anyone
know where I can obtain any information about the Kenpro KK-50? The country
of origin is not indicated on the key nor could I find a patent number or 
any
other identifing information other than the name and model. Thank's and 
73's-
Sherrill W. k4own.
