I don't have a KX3 (yet), but I do consider my self a serious CW operator.
I would not expect the stick-on paddles of the KX3 (or KX1) to be used for
more than casual mountaintop operation. I wouldn't drag my Begali (or my
Elecraft HexKey) out in the woods - I'd take my Palm paddles or Paddlette,
or wait for the new Begali design.

For inside use, I wouldn't give up the accuracy and ease of sending I get
with my separate keyer and regular paddles, whatever they happen to be at
the moment.

Respectfully submitted,
Ralph, VE7XF
