[Elecraft] CW Key suggestions ?

[Ian Kahn - Ham]

Ron,

I use a Bencher BY-1 that I bought used on eBay.  I don't do too much 
CW, so it was a great purchase for me.  It's inexpensive, solidly built, 
and the foundation level key from one of the top names in CW paddles, if 
you don't want to pay for a Vibroplex.

Hope this helps.

73,
