Hi Bill!
Do I understand correctly that you left the KXPD3 attached to your KX3 when
it was inserted into the case?
I'd say you are fortunate that there wasn't -more- damage to the paddle
assembly.
There is a pocket on the inside wall for safety stowing the paddle assembly.
None of my KX3 cases
I second the MCM cases. And as a side note on MCM for rolling your own,they
sell the soft pluck foam that I had been looking for years for. It is sized
for their cases but they give you the deminsions which make it easy to get
what you need. And it is very reasonably priced.

As I promised, I would load the soft KX3 case from Rose into my

What happened is the left lever on the KXPD3 iambic key was

In the '90s, had DirecTV for over 10 years with no RFI problems running full

This just pertains to your DB9 backshell situation-I ordered several of them

Another approach -like K2AV.
I suspect the reason there are so many differing opinions on the effectiveness
for the K3NB
is that the noise pulses from an arcing piece of powerline hardware can be so

I've had DirecTV in four different homes with two different receivers

A lot of NB success on power line noise has to do with what state the noise
