[Elecraft] Portable Straight Key

[Tom Campie]

Hi Frank.  Straight keys are already pretty portable, and just about  
any one will do pretty well.  I personally am a fan of the "Soviet"  
keys found on eBay since they have a cover that keeps the adjustments  
from getting banged around.  If you're looking SUPER portable, look at  
the Palm Portable Key from Palm-Radio (www.palm-radio.de).  While I  
have not used one myself, they are very small and are made for  
portable use.  Another place to look is American Morse- they sell a  
kit for a straight key that is pretty small as well.

Good luck on your search for the perfect key, if you find it, let me  
know!  I'm trying to find a portable paddle myself (that doesn't cost  
a fortune)
