[Elecraft] Which Paddle?

[k7sss at aol.com]

Hi,My suggestions on options. Get the ATU, it tunes anything. If you are going to do SOTA, you need a battery and a charger. The KX2 internal battery is not cheap but it is inside the radio so you won't forget it and it is light weight. Mine lasts many hours. I'm not a CW operator so I can't say much but the KXPD2 is slightly lighter and the adjustment tool is part of the paddle.

Well, gotta make up my mind on which paddle to order along with the radio.  Just checked and my CU deposited what I thought the cost of a complete station should be into my account.  These isolate in place options are dangerous, it was to easy to do this on-line.
Not sure I want to spend it now though - preliminary buyer’s remorse?
Think I’ll go over everything again, maybe have forgotten something.  Let's see, antenna and feed line, check; inverted V support pole, check; and radio, check (except what paddle).  Haven’t nailed down exactly what all other options might as well be purchased along with the radio either.
That’s ok, got about a week before moving out to a nice country hill side a handful of miles out of the city limits.  Been looking forward to this for a long time and want to savor it for a while.
