Another thumbs up for Pietro Begali's wonderful keys.Great service and excellent followup if needed.John K5MO______________________________________________________________On Fri, Mar 10, 2023 at 2:31 PM Bruce Prior <n7rr@hotmail.com> wrote:______________________________________________________________That's sad news about high-quality Kent keys.
There is an alternative company from northern Italy which is alive and well. That's Pietro Begali keys: Keys / Paddles - Begali's Web site (i2rtf.com)
My favorite shack Begali paddle is: Sculpture mono - Begali's Web site (i2rtf.com)
For outdoor operating, either Adventure dual - Begali's Web site (i2rtf.com)or
are worth considering.

Death or illness is what I keep worrying about... It is such a terrible feeling when the other end never responds.

Thanks for the warning, Steve. I hope it isn't due to a death in the family or something.

Just a heads-up... In early January, I placed an order through the Kent Engineers website https://kent-engineers.com/
Other than the automated response to my PayPal payment, I received no communications and never received the key I ordered. I sent emails, tried to call (call would not go through), and used the contact form on the website - no luck at all.
After a couple months of periodic attempts to contact Kent Engineers, I've given up and started the burdensome process to get my money back from PayPal. It appears PayPal is getting no answers to their inquiries either.
I mention this to the group as it seems like Kent is out of business with an orphaned website and any orders placed there will go unfulfilled.
