How tight of spacing can you get on the paddles? I like mine really narrow as in about a 1/2 inch outside spacing . It says you can get creative so I have to assume I could get that spacing some how ? . The price is inviting for sure .

Dave, When I was playing with Chris's Morse paddle it worked well. Looking at the construction I'm sure you could easy alter the gap between the paddles at build stage.

 

So--- Whats the SELLING PRICE kit form ?

Details at http://ea3gcy.blogspot.co.uk/2016/04/tkey-1-touch-key.html
€16 for the kit + €12 for international shipping (from Spain).

In USD, this comes to approx $30.

 

Is the shipping €12 per each kit or can you get multiple kits for the same shipping, i.e., say three kits for the €12 shipping cost?

 

Shipping details can be found at - http://ea3gcy.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/order-form-pagina-de-pedido.html

 

Thanks for the information link. I just ordered three kits and look forward to receiving, building, and using.

 

Cool - good luck.

 

Every time I look at the web site it says no stock ?

Well I received mine yesterday Wednesday 01/09/17 and its really a piece of cake to to assemble but only one side (the right side)works. I sent an email to the manufacture and got an automated response that he only takes questions Tuesday and Wednesdays ? . I guess i have to wait it out until I get a response but seriously that's not much for support of a product your selling . And yes I have checked all my solder joints and checked for bridges also ...
