Looking for suggestions for a paddle key that can be strapped to my leg for short activations when mobile (parked up). Current use of a handheld paddle is OK, but I would prefer something "fixed"

Getting back to learning morse, I would actively consider signing up for the CW Academy with CWOps.

After a long drive today for work, I mused about the best mobile set-up for use whilst driving (not parked). I'd welcome thoughts on what kit you guys are using for both SSB and CW - though the latter would not be legal whilst driving here in the UK! In years gone by I've used my 817 and latterly my...

Many thanks for the initial report; I ordered too and am waiting for mine to arrive in the UK. I've also got a small collection of keys ranging from Palm Mini, Palm Pico, TeneKe, CWMorse.us through to a Begalli Traveller. These are all assigned to specific rigs. Looking forward to the SP4, this soun...

Interesting discussion; two points to add. 1. I've checked and the meter does monitor external battery power. 2. I find the tilt of the radio does impact on the viewing angle of the screen, but this is naturally dependent upon table/operating layout. It would be very easy to place larger feet at the...
