Fantastic Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Very good fit and finish. Heavy, heavy, heavy and it will not move around the desk. Outstanding value for the money. Thanks Jerry!

Heavy but sensitive Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
The first thing I thought when I opened the box was that it is beautifully crafted. The second thing was that it was HEAVY. The 7 pounds is going to keep it stable no matter how hard you slap it. I have the "spring" model but it's also available, with magnets,at the same price. The fingerpads are large but easily controlled. It takes a little time and patience to set it up. The contacts and the springs are NOT on threaded screws. Lossening the set screws allows them to be slid back and forth. To get a very close contact gap is a little difficult, but once set, it seems to hold well.

One other comment...You won't find a nicer ham to deal with than Jerry (K8RA). If you call him you can count on true personal service. He goes out of his way to please.
