I made an external switch box with a double pole-double throw switch.
It seems to work well if you don't mind the extra cable clutter.

I've been using my KXPD3 with the KX2 while waiting for the KXOD2 (just
left the left screw out for now.) I had the same problem with having to
press harder on the paddles than I wanted to, especially with only one
screw attaching it to the radio. I figured there might be some
oxidation on
years ago but it has had limited use. It is
in excellent condition and works well.
Original cost was $458. I'm asking $335 (including insured priority
mail shipping).

I have a KX3 with KPA 100 and PX3. They had worked fine until yesterday
when communication between the KX3 and my computer through a KUSB failed
when the KPA100 is on. The KX3 talks to the computer fine when the
amplifier is off, but as soon as I turn it on, either through the KX3 PA

As Don said, you just need to bend the case out a little to clear the keyer
connector. You didn't mention it, but I assume you removed the tuning knob.

I use it fairly regularly. I work at a university and most of my colleagues

I bought a Handi_Mic for K2 5707 a few months ago. As Don stated, you need to

One quick note on the Heil Handi Mic. You can order it with any of
the standard Heil elements. It doesn't have a permanently attached
cord. You can order a variety of cords for different radios. So I
ordered the Icom element with the Kenwood cord. Adding the resistor

I recently bought a Heil 'Handi-MIc' with the Icom element (designated
HM-IC). It works fine without a preamp, but does need the resistor to
bias the electret element. Rather than removing the front panel and
wiring the jumper, I just opened up the connector shell on the mic and
soldered the

The consensus seems to be that there is no problem with the K2 as carry-on. I
was planning to put the power supply in checked baggage, but maybe I'll carry
it as well after John's experience.

I am going to be going on a combined work and vacation trip in February,
including Hawaii during the ARRL CW dx contest, and plan to take my k2 with
me. (I'm not expecting in records, but it should be fun to make a few

Thanks for the input Don. I have done the spectrogram method of setting the
filters. It works well and I didn't have any problem with it. My question
about the computer backup was as much curiosity as practical concern, though
if it could be done it might be helpful at times. As I
I also agree with Ron that it is not an overwhelming problem to reenter the
settings, but is a bit time consuming and potentially error prone. As I
look at the programmers reference, it seems that reading the settings is
pretty straightforward. You can just go into the normal cal/fil setup
My K2 (5707) is now working great, including the KPA100 amplifier, after a
little set back due to a very small wire strand across a couple of connector
pins. Thanks to Gary Surrency's encouragement and advice I was able to find
and correct the problem. At one point in the process, the radio

After a few delays my K2 is functioning. Just had QSO with FG/DL5CF; came
