John,
Certainly, but it is a permanent change (until changed back) and
requires soldering.
Leave the wire to the dot side board (the one connected to the tip of
the plug - use your ohmmeter) connected, but remove the wire to the dash
side (goes to the ring).
Then wire the dot side and dash

The KXPD1 can be very sensitive. The action will feel stiff if you are
in the habit of applying pressure to the paddles with your thumb and
finger well up onto the cover pads. If you make contact near the outer
ends of the finger pads, the action can be very sensitive. The outward

I have a bail clamp for the KXPD1 sitting here bored
What I did was to put a couple small drops Liquid Electrical Tape on the
paddles around the screw on the side that goes against the KX1 case and
after it dried well there was no more slipping when attached.

I for one have dies and taps from 4-40 to at least 3/8-24 plus a few

I can't help directly since a cold day outside here would be anything below
room temperature.
But try Paul, W0RW, the pedestrian mobile expert. He's out in the CO cold at
night in winter. If it is a chronic problem, I bet he has seen it and solved
it.

Paul,
The KXPD1 is a bit pricier than the Whiterook, but the ATU and the
paddle go together to make a rig that really does work with nothing
else, just a couple of short wires.
I started out without either, but realized that Elecraft was right, and
making it self-contained is a big deal.

Hi, Tom
My KX1 is brand new. I didn't know if I'd like the KXPD1 either, but I decided
to give it a try. My usual paddle is an old Brown Bros. iambic-- comparable to
the Bencher. I use single lever techniques (never quite got the hang of the
squeeze techniques).
As I was assembling the
I find the KXPD1 to be just fine. For a lot of rag chewing, I prefer my
Benchers, but that really isn't what goes on (for me at least) with the
KX1. I tend to make QRP QSO's, maybe 3 or 4 exchanges, or do some QRP
contesting like the Spartan or FOBB. The KXPD1 doesn't offer much

Tom,
I am strictly a 'single lever paddle' person - in fact I have trouble with
most dual lever paddles --- but the KXPD1 is quite easy for me to use. I
really don't know why, but it just feels 'natural' to me. I don't own one
myself, but have built several for others and found it to be a

I've been working hamfests around here, showing off my K2 and having lots of

getting one myself, and when I ordered it, I said I wasn't going to
A Brown Brothers paddle isn't really comparable to a Bencher (it's
much better IMHO, and feels almost as good as my Begali Simplex).
I've been concerned about the same thing, but maybe I'll give the

Mine has the same problem. I discovered the headphones were clogged by a
large dense hairy object between the two earphones. Unfortunately, it can't
be fixed.
Odd, all of my headphones exhibit that same problem ... but the large
dense object is not hairy.

Could it be caused by the person with the headphones on?...LOL

True, large dense hairy objects cannot be fixed, but they can be divorced.
