Hi Brian,

A business card with some DeOxit5 cleaner on it, usually does the trick!

So Wayne, how do you suggest cleaning the contacts? I have been slipping a 
piece of paper between the contacts,  closing the paddle and pulling the paper 
through. First time I've heard of the contact burnisher.

Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Which Paddle?


Hi Tommy,

I designed both keys, but I prefer the KXPD2. I use a KXPD2 with the KX2 
frequently and have never had a problem. We improved the design over time.

It weighs less than the KXPD3, takes up less space when packed, and is shorter 
so when it’s used trailside, the paddle tips will be higher off the ground. The 
adjustment tool is “docked” on the key as well so you can’t lose it.

(Bonus feature: if you use it outdoors often enough, it’ll gradually acquire a 
slight amber tint that matches the LCD backlight color :)

72,

Well, gotta make up my mind on which paddle to order along with the radio.  
Just checked and my CU deposited what I thought the cost of a complete station 
should be into my account.  These isolate in place options are dangerous, it 
was to easy to do this on-line.

Not sure I want to spend it now though - preliminary buyer’s remorse?

Think I’ll go over everything again, maybe have forgotten something.  Let's 
see, antenna and feed line, check; inverted V support pole, check; and radio, 
check (except what paddle).  Haven’t nailed down exactly what all other options 
might as well be purchased along with the radio either.

That’s ok, got about a week before moving out to a nice country hill side a 
handful of miles out of the city limits.  Been looking forward to this for a 
long time and want to savor it for a while.
