The devil is making me say this--popular items are seldom sold.
Bencher (and some others) also make single lever paddles. Try a few
different models till you find one which you like. I have found Vibroplex
single-lever paddles at hamefest at reasonable prices. Just keep looking. If
all else
fails, make a manufacturer happy with a sale of a new unit.
I've tried to use the squeeze keyer paddles--without activating the keyers
iambic mode--with little success. I think I caress the paddle fingerpieces a
bit too firmly.
After you get "serious" about CW operating, I'd recommend your looking at
either the LogiKey K-1 or K-3 keyers. A Ten-Tec radio, good smooth paddle and
a
LogiKey keyer are the best tools ever made for CW operating.
