[SADXA] VIBROPLEX IAMBIC PADDLE SET

[Jim Wysocki]

I used a Vibroplex iambic for several years back in the '80's.  I 
remember the paddle as being difficult to set up, but once adjusted it 
held its settings.  I just had to learn how much tension to put on the 
knurled lock nuts.  I sold the Vibroplex after I acquired a Nye Viking 
iambic paddle, since the NV paddle had an action that better matched my 
CW sending style.  Still later I went to an electronic keyboard.  Now 
I've come back to paddles again.

When it comes to keyers it's all about sending style.  No two people 
press those paddles in the exact same way, so what worked well for me 
might not work for you and vice versa.  GL on your research.

However, one person tells me it is tedious to set and does not hold a setting. If you have used or are using this key I will appreciate hearing from you. This inquiry is limited to the Vibroplex iambic key. Please do not share your enthusiasm for your favorite key - often costing much more money and made in far away places like Italy. I will go there with you if the Vibroplex turns out to be a poor choice. So, Vibroplex iambic users, past or present - what say you? Thank you and “Good DX”!
