Re: [Elecraft] "2" or "3" Paddle

[Robert Hand]

   I’m not a super accurate cw op and not familiar with the keys you guys 
are using but I like the longer keys as I believe that the extra leverage will 
allow a stronger return mechanism which in turn should aid in overcoming the “ 
less than perfect “ action of most twin paddle keys that I have used.

Hi Bob.

Contact support(at)elecraft.com and request the free KPA1500 power supply load 
resistor kit.  They can also tell you if your amp S/N was manufactured before 
we started adding the load resistor to new units some time ago.

  Thank You to the replies I have recieved on this subject.  When
I get back home in a few days I will look for the electrical hash again with
the fan on.  I am guessing that this would point to the suggestion of some
slight loading of the power supply to smooth out emitted noise.

[Elecraft] Noise with amp

[Robert Hand]

   I’m seeing the same thing with my KPA1500. All bonding is good. It appears 
on ten meters with about 10-dB and with about 15-dB on six meters.
