NEW! Pico Paddle NEW!

The Pico Paddle (PP) is definitely the smallest series production paddle in the world - although this miniature precise paddle is very small in its dimensions and lightweight, it is an absolutely full-fledged dual lever paddle!

The aim of the design was to develop a fully functional miniature paddle, which is ideal to attach to various popular HF transceivers (eg, KX3, FT-817, FT-857). For this purpose, device-specific installation kits can be used (Mounting Kit MK-KX3/Mounting Kit MK-817).

During development it was essential to us to ensure that the quality of this subminiature paddle can absolutely compete with its bigger brother, the Mini Paddle! Of course, also the Pico Paddle - "typically Palm Radio" - can be retracted into the housing and is perfectly protected during transport. It also uses high-quality, galvanically gold-plated contacts. The adjustments for contact spacing and spring tension are optimally adjustable to the needs of the user in the established manner, using hex screws. Supplied with the Pico Paddle is the quick mounting PP QuickMount (PP-QM), and easy accessible Allen key, which allows easy and precise adjustment of the hex screws.

The included PP QuickMount (PP-QM) is equipped with powerful neodymium magnets, so that the Pico Paddle can be easily and securely attached to all of ferromagnetic surfaces (e.g. directly to the transceiver). The Pico Paddle has a 2.5mm stereo jack at the back side. The supplied cable has a length of 60cm (2 ft) (and is very thin and flexible - the other end contains a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) plug for connection to the transceiver or keyer. 

Optional connection cable with cable lengths 30cm (1ft) or 90 cm (3ft) are available. A robust Travel Case is included and makes it easy to accomodate the Pico Paddle and the other included accessories, e.g. the PP QuickMount for universal mounting, a connection cable with 3.5 mm (1/8inch) plug and the user manual.
