Mike,
I sense a very "sinister" tone coming from your post!Love it. I
have many lefty friends. I have to admit though, I have watched a couple
sending at high speed while my head told my stomach to "relax, calm
down, you are just having a bad food dream."

Mike, it's the tyranny of the majority ... left-handed scissors cost
twice as much. I equate paddling a canoe [without getting wet] and
flying a helicopter [without getting wet] to be in the same class, never
mastered either.

Well, as a ham who once tried a paddle back in the early 'sixties,
then went back to the bug, I can claim the electronic keyer in my K3
gets very little action! I send on a bug with my left hand, but at
age 16, who knew there were left handed bugs? I learned on a
right-handed bug, and have use
No, Fred. The goal is to send perfect code, whether you enjoy it or not. 🤓

Nick, KZ2V is also right handed, but sends left handed, so he's another. (I
don't know if he can send right handed.)

Here's one. In college I was rooming with a left-handed ham about the
time I was switching from a straight key. So I learned on his
left-handed bug. To this day I can send with either hand on a bug or keyer.

This seems to be very common among left-handed operators, I'm one, and
my left-handed Elmer explained I would learn to send right-handed so I
could write legibly in my log ... logs were a Big Deal in the earlier
50's when he was teaching me code in his dining room. The importance of
logs has d
Nick, KZ2V, a super CW op, told me that he learned to operate
paddles left handed (he is right handed) so he could write with
his right hand. I watched him operate during Field Day, and he
did indeed use the paddle left handed when the N1MN macros
weren't up to what he needed to send.
BTW, wh
Thanks to all that assisted. I did get the paddle to operate correctly.
Sometimes the answer is staring one in the face and you just don't see the
solution.

Which single lever paddle. If it's similar to a Vibroflex VIBROKEYER, simple.
It works just liable ant other paddle, one side is Dits and the other is Dahs.
The common wire goes to the shield of the plug. One of the other two wires go
to Tip and the other to Ring of the plug.

John,
If you are plugging it into the K3 KEY jack, no harm at all.
If you are plugging into a K2, KX2 or KX3, then you must use a stereo
plug to keep the transceiver from going into transmit when you plug in
the cable.

Bill,
Single lever paddle connects the same as a dual lever paddle - left
contact to the tip and right contact to the ring. The common connects
to the sleeve. This is "standard" wiring.
Set the K3 CONFIG menu CW PADL to tip=dot for right handed operation or
tip=dah for left handed operatio
Begali sent a defective cable when they delivered my straight key. So, I went
out an bought a two-wire (not stereo) cable & plug from Radio Shack. Seems to

K6DGW's post answers most of your questions, but I'll add a couple more
points. You have to use a stereo plug for any key plugged into an
Elecraft rig. Even straight keys and bugs with only two wires.

One side is dits, other side is dahs, and the 3rd wire is the common.
If you're right-handed, you probably want the dits on the left [thumb]

Hi ll,
Trying to set up a single lever paddle for my K3. The more I read the more
confused, for some reason, it gets. Can someone assist with this hook up, do  I
use a stereo plug, and how do I set up the menu ?
