I've been using my KXPD3 with the KX2 while waiting for the KXOD2 (just 
left the left screw out for now.)  I had the same problem with having to 
press harder on the paddles than I wanted to, especially with only one 
screw attaching it to the radio.  I figured there might be some 
oxidation on the paddle contacts and bought a can of Deoxit D5 from 
Radio Shack.  A couple of sprays and the paddle responds fine now.
