[Elecraft] "2" or "3" Paddle

[Robert Hand]

       I’m not a super accurate cw op and not familiar with the keys you guys are using but I like the longer keys as I believe that the extra leverage will allow a stronger return mechanism which in turn should aid in overcoming the “ less than perfect “ action of most twin paddle keys that I have used.
