[Elecraft] Palm Mini-Paddles?

Looking for some portable paddles to use with my K2. Do any of you use the Palm Mini-Paddles? Are they really worth $95, their current selling price? Also, I wonder how they compare with the Paddlettes at $70 shipped? I would be interested in hearing your thoughts. 73, Mike N4JX _

[Elecraft] Recommended K3/100 filters

My K3/100 has been on order for a couple of weeks now. Really excited about the prospect of it getting here on down the road. Here is my question . . . what optional filters should be ordered for this rig? I work SSB mainly, and some CW. And neither in contest situations really. I was thinkin
