[Elecraft] WTB - Kent single lever paddle

[Don Wilhelm]

Ralph,

I do not have a single lever paddle for sale, but I suffer from similar 
problems.  If you cannot find a decent single lever paddle at a price 
your ham budget can afford (the Bengali is outside my price range), I 
suggest that you try one of the K1EL keyers in Ultimatic mode - it works 
for me - it makes a standard paddle respond almost like a single lever 
paddle, press the dash and it gives dashes, press the dot and out comes 
a dit - it just feels right to my brain.

I have been asking periodically that the Elecraft built-in keyers 
support Ultimatic mode for folks like us, but so far, it has been low on 
the priority list (but is not being ignored).

73,
Don W3FPR
