Re: [Elecraft] K3 Mics
There are many other reasons that some people will purchase more expensive components. The cheapo computer headsets may work as well but some will buy the Heil just because. Yes two wires touched together will key your rig but some like the beauty of a high end paddle such as the Begali or the N3ZN. Nice to look at just sitting on the desk. And yes, some people have more money than good sense. 73, Tony W7GO On 8/15/2012 4:49 AM, Brian Alsop wrote: David, Yes this is a very interesting phenomenon. Add external gazillion band equalizers, compressors, noise gates, $30 connectors, fancy mike mounting hardware et al to the mix. All to massage an under 3KHz bandwidth signal. However it isn't just the phone guys. Some CW guys spent many hundreds of dollars for a paddle. All it does is close two contacts. I suspect in both cases the point of diminishing returns is reached far earlier than these price levels. However, it is good for the economy. Like an OT said; If you want to feel your have a strong signal, turn up the monitor level.

Plug in to the thingy and you have a larger UI. Unplug and your rig is still portable. No PC to lug around.

Re: [Elecraft] high end paddles
Keith, I would say yes. The Kent has a mechanical feel and sound to it (which isn't necessarily bad). The Hex key is much quieter and smoother in operation. The Hex key of course uses magnets which gives it a totally different feel. The flex on the arms is not a factor if you don't slap it around. If you are heavy fisted, the Kent may be a better choice. I have quite a selection of paddles both iambic and single and my favorite is a Brown Bros BTL-A but that's another story. ;) 73, Tony W7GO Keith wrote: So, Tony, is the improvement going from Kent to the Hex key as great as the improvement going from the BY-1 to the Kent? ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
