Phil,
The KXPD2 has shorter "arms" than the KXPD3.
When presenting the KX2 at FDIM he mentioned that he 'slaps' the paddles
and that caused his KX3 to 'walk' as he is keying.
The KXPD2 with its shorter arms reduces that 'walking' significantly.
That may or may not be applicable to you, but it will be to some hams.

I just received my KX2, and have planned to add the KXPD2 as soon as
it is available. No KXPD3 on hand because I use a Begali Adventure
with my KX3. But for the KX2 I'd like a paddle with a smaller profile.
My KX2 order included a KXPD2, but I see from photos here and there
that the KXPD3 looks nice on the KX2.
So now I'm wondering if I should get the KXPD3 for my KX2, rather than
the KXPD2. My questions are (and hopefully the KX2 field testers have
had a shot at using the KXPD2):
* What are the differences between these two options? I see the
KXPD3 is $20 or so higher in price, but I'm more interested in
construction and performance (how they feel) differences.
* Is one easier to use than the other, or is the only plus of the
KXPD2 its smaller size?
* Are there other factors I should consider?
Since I've not used the KXPD3, I'm pretty much in the dark -- so any
input appreciated!
