Purpose-built for the Elecraft KH1
This compact concentric paddle key was designed from the ground up to match the KH1’s footprint — and fit inside its carry case. Inspired by the DL6YYM TP-III design philosophy, it brings a precision iambic paddle experience to one of the smallest HF rigs on the market.
Spring-Free Magnetic Return
Opposing disc magnets replace mechanical springs for smooth, consistent action in any conditions — including cold weather.
Flanged Precision Bearings
Virtually zero paddle slop. Crisp, repeatable feel on every dit and dah — ABEC-7 rated.
Adjustable Reset
Two set screws let you dial in exactly the paddle spacing and throw you prefer.
Reversible Body
Mount it in either orientation to suit your operating style. Elevated paddles, or flush paddles. Your logbook case still closes regardless of key orientation.
