[Elecraft] KX-1 Paddle (KXPD1)

[Scott Ellington]

I found it very hard to get the screw tight enough that the paddle 
didn't wobble, on two different KX-1's.  Because of the position of the 
key jack on the PC board, the hole in the paddle didn't line up with the 
tapped hole in the case.   (This was in the left-handed position; I 
didn't check the other one.)  I carefully drilled out the paddle from 
the KX-1 side, taking care not to drill into the threaded part that 
keeps the screw from falling out.  (Drill the paddle, NOT the KX-1 
case!)  Then I cut a slot in the top of the screw for screwdriver.  A 
tiny drop of oil on the screw threads, and it works great.
