[Elecraft] Elecraft HEXKEYs are now in stock!

[David A. Belsley]

My "main" key is a WBL v22, and it is something.  I got a Elecraft 
edition HexKey, however, because I wanted to see what all the fuss over 
magnetic return was all about and didn't feel like shelling out the 
obscenely huge bucks for the Mercury.  I was quite pleasantly 
surprised.  It took me a bit of time to find a proper combination of 
settings for the contact and magnet gaps, but I eventually did.  I now 
have a key that is quite reliable with a very light and barely 
perceptible motion.  I won't say either it or the WBL is better; they 
are just different.  And they are both very, very fine paddles.  My 
only real complaint with the HexKey is that the adjustment screws are 
too coursely pitched to make fine adjustments as easy as they ought to 
be.  But they do work, and, overall, the HexKey is a wonderful addition 
to my shack.

best wishes,
