Thanks Don,
I'll keep that in mind and be very careful as I plan to homebrew a
paddle set and mount it there.

John,
That is threaded for 6-32. Since you are apparently going to put a
screw into that hole that is something other than the paddle mounted
thumbscrew, I will offer a caution - Do NOT allow the screw threads to
extend inside any further than the depth of the threads. If the screw
tip overlaps the edge of the board, it will damage a PC trace that is
quite close to the edge of the board just below the key jack. I have
repaired several where that happened. The usual symptom of that
damage is that the KX1 goes into transmit as soon as power is applied.

Greetings,
Before I do something stupid like strip the threads on the mount
hole, does anyone know what the thread size is ?? Metric or US? 4-40
perhaps?
