SA-5010 Keyer paddles

[John H. Klingelhoeffer]

Dear RAV4WD at earthlink.net:

As a proud owner of an SA-5010 keyer, I'd ask why the heck you'd want to use
the internal paddles on that keyer?  I probably have a set that I could
provide to you (somewhere), but I long ago changed the audio monitoring jack
to handle an external paddle through a 3 circuit, 1/8" audio jack.

The "touch actuation" paddles were horrible to use, and would not work
reliably in the presence of RF.  The best idea is to use external paddles
that have firm "DC" contacts, and forget the touch actuated paddles.
Probably why the original owner of the unit chucked them.
