History
The history of the production of the KBX keys  and paddles starts many years ago. In fact the it started in 1969 when I was educated as a CW operator by the Finnish air force. Very soon I became best of my class and I never lost the interest in the morse code after.
The key I practiced on was an old World War II key. This formed the base for my first own production key and many of them are still in use throughout Finland.
Later I made the KBX-101 model which was also a big succes in Finland.

In 1988 and 1989 I visited the Friederichshafen ham convention. Many keys were sold there.

It became very quiet a few years later due to personal reasons. But I never lost interest in CW and ham radio. So here we are back again with a product better than ever!
