Re: [Elecraft] KXPD3 problems - Solved
The two pins in KX3 that mate with KXPD3 were recessed a few mm. After pulling back, the key works fine. I must have inserted KXPD3 too hard, and the pins gave out. I wonder how to secure the pins from recessing. Crazy glue, epoxy, or something else.

Re: [Elecraft] KXPD3 problems
The problem with KX3 in TX when KXPD3 is fully inserted started just 2 weeks ago. Perhaps one air travel with rough treatment too many. Before everything was fine. If I put a blade of a small pocket knife between KX3 and KXPD3, the key works OK.

Re: [Elecraft] KXPD3 problems
If that is what was being stated, I did not understand "sends" equals "the paddles send OK". If the KX2 is going into full transmit, there is a problem, contact support for assistance. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/9/2017 4:04 PM, Don Butler wrote: I think he may be saying that when the KXPD3 is fully inserted the rig goes into transmit but it works properly when it is pulled out a little ... -Original Message- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net [mailto:elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of Don Wilhelm Sent: Saturday, September 09, 2017 1:34 PM To: Ignacy; elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] KXPD3 problems Ignacy, I have no idea why you would want to operate it when not fully inserted and the securing screws tightened.
