Jeff, those are VERY, VERY nice paddles. They look commercial. Maybe you should go into business.

If its too much trouble, I'll understand, I just wanted to see if I could steal a peek.

If they attract, then the force decreases as you close the contacts. If they repel (if you do this you need two magnets for each side, of course), then the force increases -- like a spring. I personally prefer the attractive mode because it gives a 'clicky' feel which I like. What did you use for pivots? -- 73, Vic, K2VCO Fresno CA http://www.qsl.net/k2vco ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
