The WIRELESS TOUCH PADDLE is the ultimate gadget for the CW ham operator. Mechanical contacts are replaced with capacitive touch sensors, and an infra-red link eliminates the paddle's cable. The WIRELESS TOUCH PADDLE consists of a Paddle Unit and an IR Receiver Unit. See the Photo Gallery and Specifications.
