Their stall was busy at Ham Radio FN. I saw a few SOTA guys at the stall queing up to buy Palm Paddles. They had plenty of stock Friday/Saturday. I have two Palm keys so no need to spend any money!
This is not new ‘news’. Hannes has been doing keys for some time but not as a large scale operation. I think the recent exposure has come about due to Hans Summers showing his Green Palm paddle at FN.
He’s had a stand at FN for the last 3 years selling them. Basically they were made out of selected left over parts from when the business closed. If new parts are being produced then even better.
Most of them are 185 EU, shipped. I ordered two of the green, one mini and one pico. He still uses the original three pin connectors, which were a problem for me but not for him.
Well, it was news to me, and I immediately ordered a Palm Pico. I was so happy I could still get a new one! Hannes filled the order quickly and was super friendly.
I visited the Palm keys shop stand this year in Ham Radio Friedrichafen 2025. Many people buying and trying the keys. The owner explains all key features to visitors. I think they are very nice little keys for SOTA.
Spare parts are available now, because production has beginned again. Good news for Palm Keys customers!!! 73 CT2IQK.
