Capacitative cw paddle. K6ARK kits, this is the way.

Wonderful, I want to get one also. Reminds me of the Heathkit Keyer with capacitive touch paddles I built in the 2980's, I miss it very much!!!? --Davey --KU9L

They’re a blast to have for sure. I love this thing!

@@KD2YDN Hopefully he will find a stable supply of the parts so he can offer the kits again. Thanks again for sharing.

Very nice! You know those plastic hard case many use to carry the kx2 (I use one myself)? You could even place this circuit in there, just like the radioset-go does, and only the the metallic contacts out of 5he box. Does it work well in cold weather? My paddles are already freezing out in the field, and when they do they start failing. I’ve thought this would be a solution 73

I haven’t used it much yet. I’ll be sure to get back to you! Good idea with the kx2 box! Thank you for sharing that.

..... Antique.... Man I feel old now.... But that is a cool key. If it works, then your solder job ain't so bad. Thanks for sharing. DE W4EMB
