Re: [Elecraft] KXPD1 sensitivity
Try swapping the rubber grips. My craftsmanship left the wire on the dit side is a little bumpy, even after squishing it with needle nose pliers-it sends continuous dits with one of the rubber sleeves, but not the other. Also, make sure the spring steel levers are aligned so that they fit into the cavities molded into the rubber grips-if they are out of alignment even a little, they will be trapped against the contact wire-I had this momentary problem when I first assembled mine. (Also, at the risk of telling you something you don't need to know, check that your dit wire is not accidentally grounding to the aluminum bracket somewhere.) 73 Eric N0HHS I just got done with my KX1 construction, including the KXPD1 paddles. Another very nice setup from Elecraft! My question is how do I make the paddles less sensitive to touch. I find that the left side (dits) is very sensitive, and at one point, it started sending dits all on its own. I have squeezed the wires inside down as close to the PC board as they can be, but that didn't help. The right side of the paddle is working fine. Anyone have any other suggestions??

Thanks, Dan W1RDB One possible problem is that one or both of the rubber covers is/are installed incorrectly. The raised portion of each cover must be on the outside of each paddle.
