[Elecraft] Re: [QRP-L] WA3WSJ AT-Mini Paddle & and Elecraft KXPD1 Paddle

[David Toepfer]

While I love the simplicity of this idea, the only  concern I would have for
myself if it is directly plugged in to any board-mounted elecraft key jack is
that the jack is not designed for constant pushing back abnd forth and will
likely cause premature failure of the board and/or jack.

NOTE: Elecraft addressed this with their KXPD1 by including a mounting screw
for stability and load distribution.

I do, however, like the idea of the hand-held 1/4" plug/paddle in the extension
cable at the top of their page.
