Pierre, I can't answer your specific question with certainty, but I recommend that you repair the broken PC traces with #26 or #30 wire and see if the heating problem is solved. There are several traces on the PC board that run under the key jack. Repair any that look damaged.
For a small (short) break in a PC trace, I often scrape the traces and solder in a splice of bare #26 or #30 wire, then cover the exposed wire with a thin coat of epoxy glue. It makes a durable and permanent repair. 73, Don W3FPR Pierre wrote: > Hi to all, > > I inadvertently pushed to far a screw designed for a new paddle in the hole > near the paddle socket.. and think I damaged the circuit near the edge on the > PCB (the path near the edge seems broken). > > Now, the case of the KX1 gets warm even in receive mode.
