Review Summary For : AF6L Spirit Straight Key
Reviews: 1MSRP: $335-$395
Description:
Machined from solid blocks of billet 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the Spirit Straight Morse Key represents the culmination of modern design and development efforts to create a crisp and consistent key that looks at home with your modern radio equipment. The Spirit Straight Morse Key comes as standard with a flat dimpled aluminum pad and also 2 custom-machined Delrin knobs, in both tall and short styles. This easy-to-swap combination allows you to see which style suits you best. The tip of the arm is drilled ready for aftermarket knobs, allowing for an even wider range of options. We also offer three different arm styles - low, medium, and high.

Rock Solid, holds adjustment, selectable height Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
I recently acquired another key from AF6L, their straight key model, after acquiring and loving the iambic and single paddle models.

This key is amazing, and is built so that no matter how hard you "pound brass" it doesn't tip. Extremely stable, no wobble, no desk creep. You can select the knob and the arm height and install them or order them to one of several height specifications. Excellent contact performance, the magnetic tension settings are basically infinitely variable to adjust to exactly your style of sending. I have mine setup with the highest knob on the highest arm for European style sending. Beautiful, rock solid, no worry about dust in the contacts.

Suggest you read the directions before opening up and adjusting, and then adjust it to match your style and get on the air! I love it.
