Any feedback on the Palm Nano Paddle and Pico Paddle ?

I can buy one (not clear which model).

All I know is that these paddles are not manufactured anymore since at least 10 years.

(For portable operation, indeed.)

@F4JWJ I only know they have a failure point in the weird miniature connector they use.

@IU1KGS Yest, I can see t (online) that the Pico Paddle uses a tiny 2.5mm stereo jack instead of the more 3.5mmm.

Apparently, the Mini uses a 3.5mm jack.

@F4JWJ there you go, the mini uses a three pin simil-Molex miniature connector

@IU1KGS

In retrospect, I believe the info I read saying "3 pins 2.5mm" was in fact for a 3 pins 2.5mm or 2.54mm PITCH Molex / JST style connector.

It was so natural for me to believe it was a 2.5mm mini jack...
