Hello list!   My name is Stan WB2LQF. Besides my *real* claim to fame as 
the proud owner of "Electrocraft" K1, K2, K3, KX1, and KX3 (#0325) 
products, I also am friends with Ulrich Steinberg (N2DE/DJ8GO) and Piero 
Begali (I2RTF).  Piero and Ulrich have developed a prototype for a 
paddle that will mate with the KX3 and I will have the honor of testing 
this prototype beginning in the next couple of weeks or so.  The small 
size of the KX3 paddle is a challenge but it is not unreasonable for 
them to at least "try" to incorporate the ability for single lever ops. 
The Begali "Leonessa" currently allows for single paddle operation from 
an iambic key with just a couple turns of a screw,  so a production 
"solution" presently exists.  I have been given permission to disclose 
this information from Ulrich N2DE.

73, Stan WB2LQF
