[Elecraft] Opinion of the KXPD3 for kx3?

[Bob Nielsen]

It must be an age-related thing.  I'm 78 and seem to do better with a 
single lever paddle, my preferred models being the Kent and the Palm 
Single.  I have a Begali Adventure Mono for my KX2 which is OK but the 
adjustments are quite critical.

73, Bob N7XY
