Re: [Elecraft] Right paddle on my KXPD2 issue

[Brian Hunt]

I have experienced this too. Cleaning the contact with a small strip of paper 
helps for a while. I'm wondering if the contact closure current may be too low 
to overcome the slight surface corrosion that develops over time. 

When not in use I store the KXPD2 in the mesh pocket of the CS-40 case. 

Adjusting the contact spacing narrower allows less travel and seems to make the 
problem worse, widening it makes it better but doesn't eliminate the problem.

[Elecraft] Right paddle on my KXPD2 issue

[Tommy]

    Hi folks,

 The right paddle seems to work intermittently on my KX2 paddles. I 
have to hit it several times to get it to work but even then it's 
random. I tried moving the adjustment for it in a bit but it makes no 
difference.


My settings are: CW IAMB = A

                          CW Key 1 = hand ( I do have a key plugged in 
but in or out it makes no difference)


                      CW key 2 = left = DdASH

                      CW WGHT = 1.25

Anyone see this problem? Anything I should check or try?

Thanks for any tips.

73! Tom - KB2SMS
