I recently purchased a set of miniature paddles by Palm Radio for portable use with my KX1. I came across a fine blog by VE3WDM who attached his Palm paddle mounting bracket to the left side of his KX1 battery case using a double sided adhesive mounting tape.
See: http://ve3wdm.blogspot.com/2010/11/theres-new-key-in-town.html Mike used a Lepage product called "No More Nails," that is apparently not available in the states. After trips to major hardware stores and some research on the web, I located an apparently equivalent product by Loctite, called "Power Grab mounting tape." There was one Ace hardware store in St. Louis that has it. The paddle mounting bracket could, of course, be mounted with screws; however I preferred the tape, since I was concerned about my accuracy in drilling the battery case. I also shortened the paddle cable and installed a right angle stereo plug as Mike did. The results look very good. 73, Chuck Guenther NI0C KX1 s/n 2512 ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
