[Elecraft] Key, Keyer, Paddle etc. Recommendation?

Kirby,

Not a stupid question, by any means.

I have a couple of different paddles, and have used several others.  The 
one that I use in my mobile, and several on the list use with their K2, is 
located on this web page:

http://www.palm-radio.de

They make one that is Elecraft Grey, and works really well for a reasonable 
price.  And they don't take up a lot of space.  I would recommend getting a 
decent piece of board, and mount your J30 and your Palm paddle on it.  Then 
you can send with a straight key or the paddle with your K2.  The manual 
and the web site have information on how to wire them up so they work 
correctly with each other.  A gentle hand, patience, and lots of contacts 
on the QRP frequencies will get you "up to speed," whatever speed you are 
comfortable with, in no time.

Good luck!
