[Elecraft] KX-1 and J-38 hookup?

[w1pns at comcast.net]

And the shorting bar is disengaged? Wish I had a dime for every time I connected a key and got a solid tone, only to find the shorting bar was in contact (barely) with the base contact. 


With best regards,

Good Day All, 

I'm attempting to connect my old J-38 to my newly-acquired KX-1 
without success. Other than setting the input menu to hnd, is there 
something else I should be doing? I'm using an old stereo cable with a 
1/8 plug for the connection. When I plug it in, I get a continuous 
tone *without* actually keying the handkey. Tnx.
