[Elecraft] Integrated paddles for K1?

[Ken Rice]

Hi Mike,

I have been quite satisfied with the tilt stand and Paddlette paddle.  I
take both with me for portable operation.

Mounted to the tilt stand, the Paddlette has good to very good feel,
especially when you consider the compromises required to keep its weight
down.  It never comes off its magnetic mounting base from the stresses
applied while keying, but I knock it off occasionally reaching for the log
or something similar.  It pops right back on.  IMO, the magnet strength is
adequate for this type of operation.

I have also used a Paddlette Jeep-mobile for two years without any
problems.  It has seen some pretty rough service without breaking or even
losing its settings.  The Paddlette-supplied magnet is not strong enough to
hold it in place while off-roading, so I stuck to the steering column with
Velcro.
