K8RA (SK) for me. My K8RA single lever paddle replaced my Vibroplex single lever.

The K8RA iambic has by far the highest number of top notch reviews on eham of any paddle.

I think some other people have taken over the K8RA business.

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”!
