Thanks Chris and Mike,
I initially tried a continuity check and had little luck confirming bad or good
continuity. I spent some time this morning putting it in, taking it out,
adjusting spacing, etc. Everything was pretty inconsistent. For a while I had
the left side of the paddle working and the right not working, for a while
everything was fine and now, believe it or not the left paddle is working and
the right paddle is working as long as I don't completely tighten the left
thumbscrew that holds it on to the kx2 hihi! I'd guess it needs a cleaning.
I've misplaced the smaller allen wrench for the pivot screws so may try to
round one up and see if I can get it apart and cleaned and back together.
Or... maybe leave that left thumbscrew a little loose :)!
Thanks for both of your comeback!

Hi Gary,
You can disconnect the paddle and do a continuity check with your multimeter.
It seems that the problem is on the paddle. You can easily disassemble it to
see where the problem is. I did clean mine, and it is fairly easy.
Best 73,

I've reversed the CW KEY 2 setting and it continues to be the left side that
doesn't work.
Is there a simple test I could do to determine if it is a paddle problem or a
KX2 problem? I don't have anyone local who owns a kx2 so I've no way to test
with another radio.
