Don, thanks. I guess I missed this. Also my KX3 was shipped on June 4 and arrived on June 7. According to Wayne's note, mine should have been modified prior to shipment, but I'll check it out anyway tomorrow. Many thanks, Stan WB2LQF

This can be easily corrected. First, completely remove one of the paddle thumbscrews. Next, using a drill bit that's somewhat larger than the #4 hole, add a * very * slight bevel (countersink) to the hole. This will remove a small amount of the black anodizing, allowing the thumbscrew to make consistent electrical contact with the keyer paddle housing. (The thumbscrew's post flares slightly where it joins the face; the flared area will contact the bevel in the aluminum.) We've already added this step for KXPD3s shipped starting today. 73, Wayne N6KR ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- On 6/9/2012 8:08 PM, stan levandowski wrote: Is anyone else seeing the following: KXPD3 randomly fails to produce a *beginning* "dit" - happens infrequently; perhaps once or twice every couple hundred characters.
