Hi, Tom My KX1 is brand new. I didn't know if I'd like the KXPD1 either, but I decided to give it a try. My usual paddle is an old Brown Bros. iambic-- comparable to the Bencher. I use single lever techniques (never quite got the hang of the "squeeze" techniques).
As I was assembling the KXPD1, I thought I was going to hate it. It gives nothing back in terms of touch. Yet, when put it on the air, I can send very well with it using the iambic mode B setting. That's the proof for me. I'm happy with it! 73, Chuck NI0C KX1 s/n 1287 _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
