I have an original Brunell (sp) side swiper and frankly I like it! It took some getting used to but I found it less taxing than a straight key so I stayed with it. Strictly old tech. It's actually older than me...I'm 83!! Have fun...73....
Really helpful as I have been wondering about this..! I only use a straight key today. Think I might try a single lever paddle now. Cheers! 73 de G1AJH
I've been licensed for over 50 years, I have always operated almost 100% CW. I own several Iambic paddles but I have always found it much easier using the single lever paddle. As far as newcomers to CW, it's enough to deal with learning to send, let alone learning the squeeze method of sending with an iambic paddle. Sometimes simple, is better.
I find myself in the opposite situation as you. I used a single-lever paddle for years, and I'm having trouble getting used to iambic. I would just stick with single lever, except that it seems like the iambic technique ought to produce higher speeds, since there are fewer hand motions on average.
O.K. ! You've convinced me ! I'm going back to my J - 38 ! Just kidding ! Even though I run about 50/50 on running my Iambic paddles correctly, there's a reason my paddles are Black ! As I can never go back ! To a Straight Key, that is ! 👍😋
I’m about to start sending and i find the iambic key confusing!?so i’m thinking of going single paddle my question is what mode is used iambic A or B or ultimatic or some other mode i’m unaware of?thanks jim
There was a point missed here, and that is, a single lever key can also have dual paddles. The paddles help with spacing between your fingers and work as a single lever key. Dual paddles on a single lever fulcrum. Common with QRQ Operators. 73 DE K6JSC
I’ve just passed my CWops beginner course last week and I think I want to move to a quality single paddle for the fundamentals course in January-in your opinion would that be an acceptable choice this early in my CW career? Great video,have a subscription 😊
I would like to think that this is only the beginning for you in your CW Journey and that you will utilize and have your single paddle for a long time, so I would urge you to look at something on the higher end. Begali might be a little too expensive? But certainly look at ur5cdx. They are beautiful and not crazy priced and work really well

So true. A lot of my friends prefer a single lever also!

@@Quantalume I always thought the same but a friend of mine thinks the single lever can go faster.
O.K. !
You've convinced me !
I'm going back to my

To a Straight Key, that is !
👍😋
Haaaa love it
Thanks. This is the video I needed.
Hi I would like to learn morse and saw about cwops beginner course what shall I buy and where shall I buy keyer I don't have any idea about it
Check some of my other videos... There are a couple videos on various CW keys. If you need help let me know
Single lever gang for the win! 😊
I just realized that I’m using my iambic paddle like a single lever. Maybe I’ll give a single lever a try
I’m about to start sending and i find the iambic key confusing!?so i’m thinking of going single paddle my question is what mode is used iambic A or B or ultimatic or some other mode i’m unaware of?thanks jim
With the single paddle it doesn't matter. The iambic a or B only matters if you are squeezing
I'm like you..... I need to squeeze... single lever never worked for me. Even a double lever paddle without iambic is very difficult for me

What brand is the single lever? As I have learned on a dual paddle, but I do not squeeze. So, I am curious about different single lever options, etc.
This is a custom RA1AOM paddle. They are hard to get nowadays. There should be some options out there for single lever fun!
I believe the proper term for the paddle is "Thingy" or Thing-a-ma-jig" I personaly prefer duma-hickey. But seriously great video thanks for the info.
Wassup homie.
I'd like a two paddle key!
Добрый день друг! Best message I received!
