Hi folks, Well, after more than 2 months of operations with the KXPD3 and more than 350 QSOs, I still have trouble with that paddle. It occasionally misses either a dit or a dah. On these occasions, when I push the paddle, the contact don't produces anything.
So far, the fixes that have read: - clean the black anodizing around the hole where the head of the thumb screw sits. I was told that it was done at the factory starting at a S/N earlier than mine, so I did not tried it. Maybe I should do it. - To 'file' the contacts screws.. Done this, but not much change... - Changing the spring: I did not do it, and wonder of it could be THE fix.. It is a bit strange that after all the complaints about the KXPD3, Elecraft has not fixed that once and for all...? About the spring, I would suggest that Elecraft provides us with a set of 3 to 4 new springs of different tensions so that we can test/choose the one that works best for each user. 73 de VE2PID KX3 S/N 190 -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KXPD3-again-tp7560531.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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
