[Elecraft] CW sending Using two keys Macro to switch mode for right and left?

[David Bunte]

Bill -

I have never tried t send with my non-dominant hand, but I do have two
paddles. They are plugged into my DIGI KEYER II through a stereo 'Y' cable.
I have not tried this, but it seems to me that you could do that and wire
the paddles so that one was 'right handed' and the other was 'left handed'.
If that won't work, I apologize, but I think it will, and then all you need
to do when switching hands is to just start sending with the other hand...
no macros, switches, or changing the position of the paddle on the desk.
