P3 CW Touchkey

I have had this key a while and thought I would show it off. It is a "no moving parts" electronic iambic key that is touch sensitive and can be found at http://www.cwtouchkeyer.com/HOME.htm. Mine is just the P3 kit and made my own key into a small project box with an internal battery. A switch on the back allows you to select battery or external power pole. The paddles were fabricated out of some 0.032" aluminum I had. It works pretty good. Only problem is I am working on improving my CW skills and am afraid to use it on the air lol! 73, AB8XX
