It is not a precision instrument, but has a surprisingly light feel at a very reasonable low price.  In fact it would seem to be the only standard paddle on the market at less than $100, and better quality than many more expensive paddles.   The pivots feature steel ball and cup bearings, and the contacts are machined hard silver.   The KM23 paddle weighs 2 Lb 10 Oz.  Base diameter is 4" diameter, paddle maximum height is 2"  and the lever length is 4" KA-KM23 Dual Paddle $89.95   EKM-2B Code Practice Oscillator Click to view in full size Katsumi's EKM2B Code Practice Oscillator is without a doubt the nicest sounding and most flexible unit on the market.  Whether you are learning to send, or teaching a class, or practicing over a repeater, the EKM2B will do everything you need. The circuit is a transistor oscillator, producing  a pleasant near-sine-wave tone that you can listen to comfortably for hours. The oscillator is transistor keyed for chirp-free operation at high speed. Features include an on/off switch with green LED, separate sliders for pitch (600-1800Hz)  and volume, headphone jack, and "record" jack to provide line-level (4mV 600 Ohm) audio for tape recorders and other devices. CPO 13.6oz 5-1/2 x 2-5/8 (incl battery holder) KA-EKM2B Code Practice Oscillator $59.95   EK-130 Electronic Keyer The EK130 Deluxe Electronic Keyer is a commercial grade electronic keyer, and this is the keyer used in Japanese Morse examinations.  All of the controls are mounted on the front panel,  along with a "speed meter" which  displays the operating speed in words per minute, characters per minute (both PARIS and CODEX), and Japanese commercial radio class test speeds. Terminals are provided for connecting a paddle and/or bug or straight key (to use the keyer as an oscillator and to buffer the keying of a transmitter via the relay).  The keyer itself will function in "bug" (semi-automatic) mode at the flip of the front panel switch. Specifications: Semiconductors: 7 ICs, 8 transistors, 7 diodes Speed range: 6-50wp, Keying circuit:  reed relay Power Source:  110-120VAC or DC9-16V External Size/Weight: 185(w) x 50(h) x 108(d)mm / 890g    AK-EK130 Electronic Keyer $159.95
