Keeping Paddles In Place

jwin2485
There have been quite a few good solutions posted here to keep your paddles from wandering around....another that I use is a "Sticky Pad." I got mine at RadioShack and I've seen them at other stores as well. It is designed to put on your dashboard so that keys, cell phones, etc. will not slide off. The bottom has a sticky surface that keeps the pad itself anchored, and the top surface is rather soft and rubbery, so a paddle like a Bencher absolutely does not move around. You can remove the pad and wash it if it gets dirty and I have not had it damage anything yet.

RE: Keeping Paddles In Place

Darwin, Keith
My solution to keeping paddles in place is even easier.  Don't touch
them.

My paddles don't move a mm, ever.  They sit there, neatly packed away in
their box waiting for the day I return to machine generated CW.

In the interim, I have my 2 straight keys and the bug hooked up to the
rig.

Oh, and I keep the bug in place by using some of that thin rubbery shelf
liner stuff.  Got it from Morse Express when I ordered a key.
