[Elecraft] New K2 Conceived

[Joe-aa4nn]

Hi Oscar, etal,

Welcome to the fold.  Excitement is great, but take your time with the 
build... enjoy the moments.

You don't need to be frustrated with the new fangled dual lever paddles when 
there are
a number of single lever paddles out there.  Two very fine paddles to look 
at are the
Begali single lever (simplex mono) : 
http://www.i2rtf.com/html/keys_paddles.html  $165.00
and the Shurr Profi single lever paddle. 
http://www.mtech.whsites.net/schurr/  $300.00
An old bug hand can work these paddles in his sleep.

While a Kent single lever paddle is okay at $140, you will not be 
disappointed with the
Begali line of keys.  I am not affiliated with any of these, I just own them 
and know which
is best.  hi.

73 & best of luck.
de Joe, aa4nn
