Ken,
Please clarify what is meant by "I had problems
with the KXPD3 which forced me to be very
assertive!": What problems, and assertive in what
respect?
Really a bit academic: I never owned the KXPD3 and
have ordered the KXPD2 for its shorter arm and
less tendency to move the KX2 around, as you observed.
Like many here, I still wait for my KXPD2 to ship.

This week I replaced the KXDP3 paddle on my KX2 with the KXPD2. I like the
feel and adjustability of the KXPD2. Since it is shorter, the rig does not
tend to move around as much. I had problems with the KXPD3 which forced me
to be very assertive! The KXPD2 seems (so far) to operate with a much
lighter touch. If you like the idea of a closely integrated paddle and do
not own either, I would recommend the KXPD2. If you own a KXPD3 and it is
functioning well, I would continue to use it. BTW, I am still eating my
way up the CW food chain. Most of my operating is between 10 and 15 WPM for
ragchews with frequent excursions above 20 WPM for contests in which the
exchanges are predictable. You might want to wait for feedback from a QRQ
operator.

Subject: [Elecraft] New KXPD2 paddle for KX2
Howdy Gang:
I wonder what the users of the new KXPD2 paddle for the KX2 think of this
paddle?
Touch, feel, sensitivity, adjustability, etc...is it a worthwhile addition
to the KX2?
Many thanks for any info.
