[Elecraft] WTB - Kent single lever paddle

[David Ferrington, M0XDF]

Yes, I thought that is probably the way to go, but it does mean I'd  
have to carry the keyer around and I liked the idea of having the  
keyer in the K3 (not to mention that I hope to use a KX1 someday).  
Thanks for confirmation of that being the way to go.
Ideally, elecraft will implement Ultimatic in the K3 - soon ?
