[Elecraft] palm radio paddle

[Steve]

I bought a Palm Paddle right after the Dayton Hamvention (Tried to buy one 
at Dayton but could not find a vendor selling them).

The base plate that comes with the palm can snap to the bottom or the side 
(or the top for that matter) so you could mount the plate to the side of 
the rig.

I bought mine for use with my K1 and so far just hold the paddle in my hand 
as I would rather sit back and work away from the rig.  I do like the 
clipboard idea!!  I may have to try that one.  You can order replacements 
bases for the paddles so you could have one mounted to each rig you use. 
They also sell rare earth magnets that fit in the base plate to stick the 
key to a metal surface (Is the K1 case aluminum?)  I don't have the 
magnetic base so can't speak to its holding power.

Good luck and if you think of a new clever way to mount the paddles to the 
K1 bring it to the list.
