Palm Pico key being made, again?

Post by Stephen »

I understand Hans Summers (DL9SCO), the original designer of Palm Radio's "Palm Pico" key, may be making more of them on a small scale. His email may be DL9SCO@darc.de . I am trying to reconfirm this with him directly. Has anyone else heard anything to this effect?

First I've heard of it.
If you have a 3D printer, take a look at K6ARK's designs at https://www.printables.com/search/models?q=k6ark. I use his single lever design for all my portable kits. I've printed a bunch and put them together as needed. The cheap, simple and good enough for me. He even has a palm pico look-alike!

That's Hans Hiller, just to save confusion. Look at his qrz.com page and he does say that he is making more Palm paddles.

Thanks, Paul. "Summers" didn't sound too Teutonic.
