[Elecraft] KX3: Paddles

[David Cutter]

I agree.  I prefer my arm to lie at 90 to the table and my wrist and fingers 
to follow in a straight line for minimum stress, maximum comfort to the 
paddle.  Rotating the rig 15 would help a lot. But I have another problem 
which is that I often operate the tune with my left hand while my right 
stays put on the paddle, so, with this arrangement, my left hand has to be 
held up and across me, which I think I would find uncomfortable quite 
quickly.  I don't think it's a deal breaker and the panadaptor idea on a 
netbook is definitely a deal maker.
