The Magnetic Traveler Light is an iambic key that addresses the needs of the traveling or backpacking ham in a no-compromise design. It combines constructive elements found in our Simplex and Magnetic Classic keys in a rugged package that will survive the rigors of a roving life. Using sealed precision bearings, repelling magnets, micro-threaded adjustments, gold contacts as a standard, and light-weight alloys, this is a unique key that is sure to become a classic. These pictures show the blue finish, but you can also order it with a black base.

The key folded for transportation ...
The Magnetic Traveler Light uses a unique folding base that protects the finger pieces during transport, and in the open position it provides the required lateral stability. It uses a light-weigth alloy for the base and the “wings”, and it weighs in at about 1.5 pounds - so it is still heavy enough to stay put during desktop usage. For the backpacking user who may not have a desk the Magnetic Traveler Light is equipped with attachments and a strap to fasten it to your leg. Take a look what our users had to say about this key on eHam.
