Re: [Elecraft] Stiffer KXPD3 spring
This fellow on YouTube put a piece of drinking straw between the paddles for a stiffer feel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvDeDWXv-z8 Jock N1JI On Wed, May 4, 2016 at 4:06 PM, Steve McLenachen via Elecraft < elecraft@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > Has anyone found a stiffer than stock spring for their paddle?

Re: [Elecraft] Stiffer KXPD3 spring
Steven, How much spring action is an individual preference. Some prefer a very light touch while others prefer something a bit more heavy. Have you tried carefully stretching the stock spring? Be careful not to stretch too far at a time, but do it in increments until it feels right for you. You can always get new springs from Elecraft and start over if you go too far. Like most springs of that type, once you extend it by stretching, you will not be able to undo that action by compressing the spring. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/4/2016 4:06 PM, Steve McLenachen via Elecraft wrote: Has anyone found a stiffer than stock spring for their paddle?

Has anyone found a stiffer than stock spring for their paddle? I already have the stiff one in there but I think it's too light.
