This dual lever paddle was another e-bay purchase. It has been very well used and has been dismantled, cleaned, aligned and put back together. The base needs to be repainted and a new sticker applied (Bencher sent me one over for free!).
The BY-1 certainly served me well and has been used and abused but I have replaced them with the Kent Twin Paddle, please have a look at that write up for a comparison.
The paddles were re-shaped by the previous user. They look awful but I have got used to using them and they actually feel good to use. I will make some nice new ones at some point.Allignment procedures for the BY-1 are available from N1FN and it's definitely worth the effort - make sure your Allen keys are a good fit!
Once it has been aligned it is easy to use. I started with the IC-718's internal keyer but that was very inconveniant for practice so I made the PicoKeyer.
