[Elecraft] Portable CW paddles for K2?

[Dave Andrus]

Kristinn:

I bought one of these recently, and have really been enjoying it:

You can get it with or without the base.  I bought the base, and was  
glad I did, but you can mount the paddles on just about anything with  
the two mounting holes.

I had to do just a slight amount of "adjusting" with some fine-grit  
sandpaper and a drill bit, but I'm very pleased with the solid feel,  
and the size is just right for me, with no real compromises in  
performance.  I've been using it both portable and at home with my K2,  
and am very pleased with it.  For what it's worth, I had to wait about  
14 days for delivery.  You may want to ask about shipping/delivery  
times to your QTH.

I would definitely buy this one again.

American Morse is also the recommended supplier for a very nice CNC  
enclosure for the Small Wonder Rockmite QRP transceiver.  I also  
ordered one of these, and am very pleased with it.
