[ct-user] Paddle input

[Jim White, K4OJ]

This is a good opportunity for you to make a DPDT switch box for your 
paddle...

I had a guest operator (WC4E) that had learned CW in reverse with his 
thumbs generating the dashes and pointer finger the dots...[BAD 
ELMER]and this also helps w/lefties... a very simply dpdt switch in the 
padddle line reverses the "handed-ness" of the paddle.

You can get pieces and parts from Radio shack for a few bucks or they 
might even be in your junk box - I designed mine with a jack for the 
paddle and then a long ferrited lead to a plug.

you can just leave it in the line and should you get a visitor to your 
shack that needs it "the other way" it is just a switch thorugh to make 
him feel right at home!

73,
