I just received the perfect accessory for my KX1 a new iambic paddle
designed and built by Richard Meiss WB8LPU. Now I love my KX1 and the
KXPD1 is a nice paddle, but I need to have that tactile feel of a regular
paddle.
The "KXer" uses the existing mounting connections connecting directly to the
KX-1, or you can use it in the stand-alone mode with a brass tripod base.
The paddle itself is the iambic type, with the tension provided by opposed
magnets mounted on the inside of the paddle arms. It has the feel of a
bigger paddle crisp action, definite stops at the end of the travel, and
no "drag" while the paddle is moving. If you have a KX1 then you really
need to check this paddle out. I believe I have the first production model
of the KXer, and I could not be happier. The Form, Fit, Function, and Finish
are Fantastic.
I have no connection to Richard Meiss, other than the fact that I am one
very happy and excited customer.
Check out the August 2004 Bacon Bits newsletter for more information and
