Acom 560 CW Paddle

The ACOM 560 CW Paddle makes using Radiotelegraphy and Morse code easy. The device can be used with an external keyer or with any modern transceiver with a built-in CW keyer.

Innovation and Quality
ACOM presents its breakthrough in telegraphy paddles with the introduction of the 560 model. The paddle is based on and manufactured using state‑of‑the‑art technologies, demonstrating ACOM's well-known innovative spirit and quality.

Advantages

Intelligent control with menu-driven functions. The ACOM 560 CW Paddle is controlled by a microcomputer with an LCD screen, as is common to ACOM products.

The ACOM 560 CW Paddle uses force (load cells) sensors to detect operator pressure on the levers. There are no moving parts inside the device that could cause mechanical problems. This guarantees the long life of your paddle.

The activating force can be adjusted from only 10 grams to 60 grams. No more health problems with your fingers and hands, which are usual when using mechanical CW devices.

Precision and sensitivity. With the refined operator pressure on the levers, you will have consistent and repeatable pressure registration for more accurate dot and dash generation. The activating force is freely defined for each lever individually and stored in 5 preset groups in the paddle's internal memory.

Silent telegraphy. The silence is what you dream of. And the ACOM 560 CW Paddle will give it to you, with its non-moving levers.

Easy to use
The ACOM 560 CW Paddle keying technique is the same as keying with a mechanical paddle, but now you will increase your maximum keying speed. The paddle weight of around 1 kg, combined with the anti-slip bottom pad, makes the device virtually stationary while keying, allowing you to enjoy your transmission.

5 different Levers' operating modes
The ACOM 560 CW Paddle supports 5 operating modes:
DUAL LEVER mode
SINGLE A mode
SINGLE B mode
ULTIMATIC mode
SIDE SWIPE mode.

No Service Needed
Since there are no mechanical moving parts, the ACOM 560 CW Paddle does not require the maintenance typical of mechanical devices.
