Solid State CW Paddle
An innovation in CW keying technology
Experience the Future of CW Operation
The 9A5N Solid State CW Paddle is a revolutionary product in the world of radiotelegraphy. Instead of the moving parts found in mechanical keys, this innovative paddle uses sensors that detect when an operator presses one of the paddle's levers.
Designed for precision, comfort, and high-speed operation, our touch-sensitive solid state paddles will transform your CW experience.
Why Choose Our Solid State Paddle?
Stationary Levers
No travel time and no moving inertia, allowing for faster and more precise keying.
Reduced Finger Movement
Less strain and fatigue during extended operating sessions.
Silent Operation
Absolutely silent keying eliminates the clicking sound produced by moving parts.
Software-Adjustable Sensitivity
Keying pressure on the levers is adjustable from 10 to 50 grams to match your preference.
Maintenance-Free
No maintenance or periodic readjustments typical for mechanical keys.

The 9A5N Solid State CW Paddle uses a microcontroller "brain" located in the aluminum head of the key to generate the dit and dah outputs. This aluminum head shields the microcontroller circuitry from RF fields in the shack.
The paddle base is made of stainless steel/coated steel/brass, giving it outstanding stability while keying. Since the 9A5N Solid State CW paddle is just a paddle, you must use a keyer to generate the CW elements.
