[SECC] small paddle for portable use

[Jim Stafford]

Hi Gregg,

Well, altho my friend John had trouble with his Bulldog, my puppy was 
better behaved I suppose!  I've used one mobile for 3 years now with 
narry a hitch!  However, do NOT count on the suction cups to hold the 
little bugger in place.  I have mine screwed to a thin board that my 
lower hand rests on.  I guess it's about 3"x7".

That said the Palm Paddle is much higher quality but again, it is very 
light weight.  However, on that one, you can use a good quality double 
sided tape - the woven carpet tape from Home Depot works pretty good and 
fasten it to your rig in some place.  Or he has some magnetic stuff to 
secure the holder that the paddle resides in. Check out the pictures on 
the web site. If you use it freely on the table, it's a two handed 
operation.  My friend Hannes, DL9SCO does this one at:
http://www.palm-radio.de/english/english.html  They run about $75 but 
are typical DL quality!
