Fw: [Elecraft] key

John:

Depends on what you want to do.  As many have stated, your decision
rests on your choice of operation.  There are some good paddles
available for home use and for portable use.  If you like your
Bencher's,   stick with them.  They will be OK for general ragchew's
as long as you are running 20 wpm and down.  My personal opinion is in
line with Dave.   Bencher has a long way to go to build a paddle.
I started on a set of Bencher's and moved up to a Vibroplex.  Ran the
Vibroplex ( and a host of others ) for awhile and moved up again to a
G4ZPY.   Gordon builds a REAL key that comes into its own as you move
up above 35 wpm.  Unfortunately,   I understand he has fallen ill and
is no longer filling orders.
Paddles / keys are a funny thing.  Personal preference is based on use
and ability.  For most folks interested in the occasional contest or a
good ole regchew,  many of todays market are well suited.  If you want
to go fast, and do it right,  get your wallet out and DO IT RIGHT.

73 and happy hunting:            Jerry       N0JRN
