Ken,
I don't own a KX2, but perhaps tiny applications of one of the various
'threadlockers' on the market would be perfect. The thread lock comes in
small tubes and is available in several "strengths." Use only the lowest
strength -- the high strength can be virtually permanent!

-----I’ve recently bought a KX2 and am enjoying it. I have an annoying
problem with the KX2 Paddle. The contacts continue to get loose. I have them
adjusted so that there is very little play. I set them up this way to keep
the mechanical clacking noise down and liked it so much that I changed my
other paddle for my shack radio to the same adjustment.
HOWEVER… on the KX2, after just a few minutes the paddles get loose again
and start clacking again. There is a separate set-screw (that was loose)
that I thought might make tighten onto the adjustment screw and keep it from
backing out. I’ve tightened them, but they don’t seem to affect the
adjustment screw’s ability to get loose. And, I don’t see these screws on
the exploded view I got with the KX2 or on the PDF on their website. I guess
a second question might be what do these screws do? One is visible on the
top of the right-hand paddle and one is on the bottom of the left-hand
paddle very near to the adjustment screws.
Thanks in advance,
