Re: [Elecraft] Selecting An Iabic Key
There are so many to choose from that I had to find something really unique. It has NO moving parts, NO mechanical contacts: http://www.cwtouchkeyer.com/ I got the vertical-motion Touch Tapper: http://www.cwtouchkeyer.com/TT1.htm I built it from a kit, and I love it. Nothing to fool with, it just works perfectly by touch, at least for me. I find the vertical finger motion to be much more natural than a paddle, like the motion of using a keyboard. I put extra rubber feet right under the touch plates. My grandson can pound on it and it doesn't walk around on the desk. But they make paddle-style also. eHam reviews are mostly 5 (including mine). This is the solid state approach :-) Windy KM5Q / Santa Fe, NM There are so many to choose from ... it's hard to make a single recommendation -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Selecting-An-Iabic-Key-tp16342000p16372401.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.

Re: [Elecraft] Selecting An Iabic Key
For just starting out, you can't go wrong with a Bencher BY-1. New, they're about $110, and you can find them for half that on eBay and at hamfests. 73!
