Hi Tommy, I designed both keys, but I prefer the KXPD2. I use a KXPD2 with the KX2 frequently and have never had a problem. We improved the design over time.
It weighs less than the KXPD3, takes up less space when packed, and is shorter so when it’s used trailside, the paddle tips will be higher off the ground. The adjustment tool is “docked” on the key as well so you can’t lose it. (Bonus feature: if you use it outdoors often enough, it’ll gradually acquire a slight amber tint that matches the LCD backlight color :) 72, Wayne N6KR ---- elecraft.com > On May 4, 2020, at 6:42 PM, Tommy Judson via Elecraft > <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> wrote: > > Well, gotta make up my mind on which paddle to order along with the radio. > Just checked and my CU deposited what I thought the cost of a complete > station should be into my account.
