I'll let her know that when she sees a package from American Morse to just wrap it and hand it to me on the appropriate day.
I chose the DCP for several reasons.
1) Price point - with shipping, we come in under $50.
2) Size - only 2.5 Ounces, and very small footprint - 1 1/2 x 1 7/8 x 1 3/16 Inch
3) Reputation - American Morse has a good reputation and deservedly so. They use the best materials.
4) Reviews - Favorable reviews on eHam. I know, reviews on eHam aren't always reliable; but they DO let you know when something out there is garbage.
Now I have to figure out what I am going to get my wife. Her birthday is two days after mine - but I have a good idea of what she wants, so it should be fairly easy.

Larry congrat's on your choice and with the reasons you outlined in the blog how could you go wrong....but do give a review of the key once you have it for some time and using it.
ReplyDeleteDitto...always looking for a good lightweight quality key to take on the road. Looks very nice!
ReplyDeleteI have two keys from AME. They are both excellent. I am certain you will enjoy your DCP. 73, Frank KA8SYV
ReplyDeleteLarry,
ReplyDeleteI have one and it works remarkably well. Ideal for portable work.
It is very small and that is somewhat of a problem. Can be attached to a base plate.

Hello Larry, light weight is a great avantage on holiday with a plane. I built myself a light weight paddle from wood and PVC in 2007, which I use with my FT-817 with on board circuit for a paddle. Last year we went to the Azores and had great fun with it. Good luck with the paddles. 73, Bert
