[Elecraft] KXPD3 Gold-plated contacts ?

[Heinz Baertschi]

Art, Ted, Ken, Olaf, et al.,

Thanks for the helpful contributions. 
Yes, the real cause are the bearings of the levers. They do not make sure a
flawless electrical contact. This seems to get worse at temperatures
around/below 0C.
I would name this imperfection "Limit of simplicity".
Just fixed it permanently by a stranded wire from ground to both levers,
acts like magic.

BTW, some pictures of the mod done could be made available for publication
on the net.
