[Elecraft] Paddle Wiring

[K9MA]

Duh, if I'd just thought about it for a second, I'd have realized that 
rotating the paddle swapped sides. And, of course, I never tried it in 
the right-handed position. I suppose some lefties send that way (dots 
with thumb), but I don't.

I know about the menu item, of course, but I got tired of changing it 
every time I reset, or something.  If I ever sell it, I'll gladly rewire 
the paddle back.

73,

Scott  K9MA
