Steve,

Another KXPD3 user recently pointed out something I hadn't considered.  
Some other keyer manufacturers who use cup-point set screws as  
contacts flatten (or round off) the screw ends using a fine file. This  
broadens the contact area, which can otherwise be very sharp with a  
cut point. I'm looking into whether we should be doing this in  
production.

Please let me know if you try this on your KXPD3.

73,
