For Sale: Palm Radio Mini-Paddle

Hi Folks,

I have for sale one Palm 817 Mini-Paddle. This is a very nice, small
(1" x 1" x 3") paddle perfect for portable use. The Palm 817 is black
to match a Yaesu FT-817 and come with a snap on magnetic base so it will
stick to an FT-817's cabinet. Elecraft cabinets are aluminum so it
won't stick, but that means you can remove the base and then the package
is even smaller and lighter!

Read about it and see it here: http://www.mtechnologies.com/palm/

Comes complete with:
- Paddle
- Quick mount and magnets
- Cable with 1/8 inch plug
- Instruction booklet
- Box. Mine didn't come with a carrying case but I still have the
cardboard box it came in. The paddle is darn near indestructible when
retracted into its metal housing.

The paddle is in very good condition but is made for users with a light
touch...not ham-fisted lids like me!

They currently retail for U.S. $109.95. Then subtract $12 for the
travel case I don't have and call it $97.95 plus shipping from the
website above. Elecraft sells them too but I couldn't locate the price
on their website.

I'll sell mine for U.S. $75.00, which includes shipping anywhere in
Canada and the U.S.A.. Pay by Paypal or money order (or personal cheque
if you don't mind waiting for it to clear).

Many thanks,

Ken Alexander

Re: For Sale: Palm Radio Mini-Paddle

Wow! They went up since I got mine! I paid $70.

I was VERY pleased with the Palm key! Great little thing!

I can't stick it to my K1 or the K1 base as nothing is magnetic! I used the
little strips of "Sticky putty" that is yellow or green or blue. Use that
stuff for all kinds of "temporary" fastener applications and it is part of
my "portable station" kitbag.

I like the Palm key even better than my bigger Vibroplex "Vibrokeyer"
paddle. It IS almost indestructible if you push the key back in the housing
when it is stored! Only thing I have "redone" over the last few years is
the cable connection to the plug that mates with the back of the paddle.
Just normal wear and tear.

Now to get my K1 operational again. Something blew the +6 volt regulator on
the front panel board. Possibly the MPU. Haven't had time to finish
troubleshooting it.

73 to all,

Sandy W5TVW

Re: For Sale: Palm Radio Mini-Paddle

On the K1, just run the rear-mount bolt through the hole for the tilt
stand. I used to use a pair of magnets (one inside, one glued into the
mount) for the front, but it proved unnecessary; the single bolt does a
fine job!
I used the magnets with a second mount and made myself a portable
desk base by wrapping a steel electrical box cover in black electrical
tape and sticking a pair of feet on the front. Both pieces fit neatly
inside an old AOL CD tin that slips into the laptop bag with my K2.
