[Elecraft] CW Key Suggestions - info on N0SA paddles

[Rick Johnson]

I sent Larry an email saying I would like to order the SP2 paddle
His response:


Rick
 Thank you for your interest in my paddles.
I believe my last SP paddle has just been sold. I am waiting to hear back 
from the person about the sale.
If he decides not to buy then you can have it.
 I am in the process of retiring so I am selling all the paddles I already 
have built. After that I will continue to build on a very limited basis and just 
list what I have for sale. No more waiting list and no custom orders. I will 
just build for fun.
73's and I will let you know what happens with the SP.
Larry Naumann

So I guess the paddles will become difficult to get ahold of now.

73,
Rick W3BI

In other words, do the paddles swing like an old Vibroplex Original (which is also sitting on my desk) or like an iambic although without iambic keying.

Not sure what's different between my SP1 and the newer SP2.  These single lever paddles won't do iambic, which I never could master. The two finger pieces give good spacing for thumb and forefinger, but they are attached to the same lever.

I noticed that the single-lever version appears to have two levers but guessing that these do not offer the Squeeze feature (which by the way I have never really learned to use).
