[Elecraft] [KX3] Sideswiper mode for internal keyer (also K3)

[Don Wilhelm]

The KX3 paddles do not lend themselves to sideswiper action as I have 
learned about it.  The sideswiper as I know it has the paddles about 2 
inches above the desk and is operated by rolling the wrist and side of 
the hand on the table.  The KX3 paddles are nice for "squeeze" keying, 
and are located close to the surface of the desk - so IMHO, they are 
useless for sideswiper motions.
