Wayne, When you sent out the field test firmware I reported back to you an issue that seems very similar to this - although at the time I was certain it was a firmware issue. But looking at it now, it could well be this issue I was having as well, and it was just random that it hadn't shown up before I loaded that new firmware. After that first incident where it was very bad, I didn't have it come back at that strength. but I've seen a few missed/delayed dits and dahs with the KXPD3. So quite possibly it's this.
Would you recommend filing off/rounding the ends of the set screws? Or take them out and clean them with deoxit, or both? 73, Thomas M0TRN On 23 July 2012 18:28, Wayne Burdick <[email protected]> wrote: > > I discussed this with Wayne a few weeks ago and he suggested that I > > try > > cleaning the contacts. > > Steve, > > Another KXPD3 user recently pointed out something I hadn't considered. > Some other keyer manufacturers who use cup-point set screws as > contacts flatten (or round off) the screw ends using a fine file.
