[Elecraft] Operational help for KX1

[Michael Babineau]

Mac :

In addition to Don's comments about ensuring that any external key (paddles or straight key) has a stereo plug,
I will add that if you are having some problems with the KXPD1, make sure that your finger and thumb are depressing
the KXPD1 paddles near the tips of the leaf springs.  When I haven't used the rig in a while I sometimes forget this and I do notice 
a difference in the reliability  of the keying with the KXPD1.  

Oh yeah,  as Don also mentioned the screw holding the KXPD1 needs to be tight enough to ensure a good ground connection 
between the KXPD1 paddle and rig. 

Best of luck
