Re: [Elecraft] KX3 / KXPD3 "hanging"?

Got a few responses. Turns out it was the grounding problem. Did the mod with some thin speaker wire and works well now. Jeff - KG7HDZ > On Jun 17, 2016, at 6:39 AM, Thorpe, Jeffrey wrote: > > I've finally gotten back to working on my morse, practicing with my KX3 with >

[Elecraft] KX3 / KXPD3 "hanging"?

I've finally gotten back to working on my morse, practicing with my KX3 with the KXPD3 attached. At first I thought it was just me, as I am just relearning this after 30 years of non-use. (Straight-key back in high-school) I have the KX3 set for text decode, and speed set to 15wpm. Quite often,

[Elecraft] KX3 - KXPD3 paddles

Some time ago there was a post saying that they had made an adapter box that allowed the KXPD3 paddles to be used as stand-alone paddles not attached to the KX3. I do like the paddles and have used them attached to the KX3 but would really prefer to use them as stand-alone paddles. Is anyone

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 - KXPD3 Socket, Plug, and Schematic Questions

There was a discussion of this topic on the KX3 group. The dot and dash paddles (pins 3 and 4) need to make contact with ground (pin 1). The original version of the KXPD3 had a design flaw on the circuit board which followed the diagram in the published KXPD3 schematic dated March 2012. This

[Elecraft] KX3 - KXPD3 Socket, Plug, and Schematic Questions

Hello, Why is source 3V3D connected to Pin 3 of the KXPD3? I have made (but not yet used) an interface cable to connect external paddles to the KXPD3 jack. The KXPD3 Schematic shows Pin 3 of the plug grounded inside the KXPD3. However, Page 2 of 8 of the Control Panel schematics shows

[Elecraft] [KX3] KXPD3 intermittent keying

My KXPD3 started to give some intermittent keying. Here is my theory: The connection between the paddle arms contact to the ground that needs to be closed to complete the circuit is through the pivot pin at the back of each paddle arm. The pivot pin has one end that is necked-down and has not

[Elecraft] KX3, KXPD3, intermittent keying

My KXPD3 which is only a bit over a week old has developed the intermittent keying problem too but both pivot pins were inserted correctly when I checked. At first I thought it was a problem with the little set screws used as contact points building up crud on the ends and not connecting with

Re: [Elecraft] Elecraft KX3, KXPD3, intermittent keying

Jim W0EB suggested the cause was oxidation of the aluminum parts. If that is the cause, perhaps an anti-oxidant electrical joint compound like Penetrox A would help. Dennis K4THE __ Elecraft mailing list Home:
