[NLRS] Help choosing a CW key / paddle for Rover and Home

[Jonathan Fox]

So far the I have received 3 replies that are in essence:  start with a straight
key and then learn to use a paddle.  I have received 1 Bencher paddle / PIC TICK
keyer recommendation also.

I have been leaning against the straight key because I figured I could send
readable CW sooner with a keyer/paddle than a straight key.  If the amount of
time it took me learn to copy CW is any indication then this will be a long
process.  I was hoping to short circuit the process a little by having a keyer
actually form the dit and dahs vs. my brain.

A straight key certainly costs less.
