Re: [Elecraft] KX Paddles

Received my KXDP2 about two weeks ago. I can report that I too have issue with contact adjustment. After reading Toms email, one of the contact posts was found to be loose. I cannot say the contact screws are becoming loose, as they were readjusted to correct the spacing issue caused by the

Re: [Elecraft] KX Paddles

The CS40 is the smaller padded soft-case for the KX2 that is just a bit larger than the radio. http://store.lowepro.com/viewpoint-cs-40 The CS60 soft-case is about twice the internal volume as the CS40. http://store.lowepro.com/viewpoint-cs-60 73, Eric /elecraft.com/ On 8/4/2016 5:06 PM,

Re: [Elecraft] KX Paddles

Hi Tom, Your KXPD2 should not have any issue with contact screws loosening over time. Please return them for rework. Sorry about that. We needed a new paddle was for the KX2 because it's a much smaller radio. Some operators using a KXPD3 with the KX2 find that they have to hold the radio in

Re: [Elecraft] KX Paddles

I have both, am primarily a CW operator and this is my impression. The KXPD2 has "issues" - at least for me. The contact posts keep loosening up - it doesn't matter how hard I tighten them (I'm afraid of over torquing the screws but they are snug), they loosen up. I tried non-hardening

Re: [Elecraft] KX Paddles

Anyone have a KXPD3 for sale? $135 just seems too much. Kurt, W7QHD > On Aug 4, 2016, at 10:22 AM, Sid Frissell wrote: > > Well, I guess I've wrung all the opinions out of you re. KXPD 2 vs KXPD3. > Seems like the KXPD2 is preferred. > Thanks to all who commented

Well, I guess I've wrung all the opinions out of you re. KXPD 2 vs KXPD3. Seems like the KXPD2 is preferred. Thanks to all who commented on and off list. Sid, NZ7M Sent From Sid Frissell's iPad __ Elecraft mailing list Home:

Mike, I also have the Adventure paddle. Could you possibly provide more information on the modification? This is the way Begali should have designed it... Thank you in advance. -Dave KW4M email gene...@bellsouth.net The Begali Adventure paddle is the way to go! I modified my key with a

Re: [Elecraft] KX Paddles

Sid, My friend with the Begali Adventure just reminded me that it, in fact, is a hybrid in that it CAN be mounted mechanically to the KX3 (in the same position as the KXPD3) or not. In either case, the cable plugs into the key jack on the left side of the KX3. TNX to K9ZTV for keeping me

Re: [Elecraft] KX Paddles

Sid, I have an early KX3 (S/N 112) and really like the KXPD3, except that it had contact issues in the high humidity environment that I encountered in summertime Missouri and Arkansas SOTA activations. I then went with the Palm Radio Mini-Paddle with a special bracket that mounts to the KX3

Re: [Elecraft] KX Paddles

The Begali Adventure paddle is the way to go! I modified my key with a 4-pin plug purchased from Digikey that mounts and plugs in to the KX3 just like the KXPD3 does so there is no dangling cable that has to plug into the KEY jack on the left side of the radio. Mike AC6JA In a message

[Elecraft] KX Paddles

Hi guys I’m planning on buying a KX3 in the near future. Some time ago someone on the reflector said they thought the new KXPD2 paddles were better than the KXpd3 (less noisy I think he said.) Any pf you who have KX3’s and now also KX2 can now make that comparison. So what’s the verdict?
