To dress up the wire on my key I took a piece of black parachute cord and
pulled out the center strands.
I then slid the wire through the center of the parachute cord. A little
heat-shrink at the ends keeps it dressed up
On the plug end of the wire the heat-shrink is hidden by the plug housing.
A mono plug will short the ring to shield in the jack resulting in a solid tone
(a very long “dah”).
Key1 is the jack on the side.

Oops, read that a little closer and I see it now. Thanks for catching that.
Usually just use the little paddles myself.

Easy
Use KEY jack on left side of radio. Set in menu to Hand Jey.
Wire key to Shield and Tip of a TRS ( Stereo) 3.5 mm plug.

Jim and all,
That is not quite correct. KEY1 is for the 3.5mm jack on the side panel
while KEY2 is for the paddle connection on the front (the KXPD3). Check
the information in the menu listing description in the manual.

Actually you can have either the tip or ring as the active contact. You
just need to set either the CW KEY1 or CW KEY2 menu items to HAND for the
one you wish to use. CW KEY1 for tip, CW KEY2 for ring. If you use a mono
plug of course your only choice would be CW KEY1.

Hi Gerry,Two things about the straight key.
The isolated contact should go to the tip of the stereo plug and the chassis of
the key should go to the shield of the plug. There should be no connection to
the ring of the plug.Next check to see if in the Menu, CW key 1 is set to
hand.Look at the KX
KEY Jack: This stereo 3.5 mm jack on the left side can be used with any hand
key, keyer paddle, or other keying device, as selected by the CW KEY1 menu
entry (see Using the Menu, pg. 9).

I'm very interested, too. Also ideas for a decent, attractive, flexible
wire to use with my J-38 key.
