[Elecraft] For Sale: Palm Radio Mini-Paddle

[Sandy]

Wow!  They went up since I got mine!  I paid $70.

I was VERY pleased with the Palm key!  Great little thing!

I can't stick it to my K1 or the K1 base as nothing is magnetic!  I used the 
little strips of "Sticky putty" that is yellow or green or blue.  Use that 
stuff for all kinds of "temporary" fastener applications and it is part of 
my "portable station" kitbag.

I like the Palm key even better than my bigger Vibroplex "Vibrokeyer" 
paddle.  It IS almost indestructible if you push the key back in the housing 
when it is stored!  Only thing I have "redone" over the last few years is 
the cable connection to the plug that mates with the back of the paddle. 
Just normal wear and tear.

Now to get my K1 operational again.  Something blew the +6 volt regulator on 
the front panel board.  Possibly the MPU.  Haven't had time to finish 
troubleshooting it.


73 to all,

Sandy W5TVW
