[Elecraft] palm radio paddle

Thu Jun 19 13:34:01 2003

John:
  The Palm has a default adjustment that causes the contact to be made 
before the paddle has reached its stop.  This gives a funny feel to those 
not used to it.  You can adjust the contacts so that the electrical and 
physical contacts occur at the same time, and I think you will like the 
Palm a great deal more.  I find it a far superior paddle to the Bencher.

best wishes,
