I learned on a Vibroplex single lever paddle and a Hallicrafters HA-1 TO
Keyer. That was in the 60s.
Single lever paddles appear to have gone the way, as most of the current
rigs (K3 included) do not well support such a key. Hence, I built a
little box with a couple of 2032 batteries in it, a keyer chip, and a
pot. It is attached to the side of my trusty single lever paddle. I
connect it to my 480 or K3 as I would a straight key or a bug. No big
deal to me.
Of course, I am old fashioned. Imagine, still using a single lever
paddle in this modern age of whatevers that can number messages or
entries, self log, and maybe even time the turkey roast.
