[Elecraft] KXPD2 difficulties

[Hayden]

Though I was a CW operator many years ago in the military, I am having to relearn an old skill.  However, the relearning is coming along nicely.   What I find that I have more difficulty with is the complexity of modern ham operations and equipment.  Thinking that I would try to go beyond a straight key, I purchased the KXPD2 for my KX2.  But I am having trouble just getting both levers functional.  When I go into the menu, I find that I can get the right paddle to be either dot, dash, or Hand, but can get nothing (as in no sidetone/sound) from the left lever. For example, under CW KEY 2 it will show left = dASH.   The right lever will throw out a nice string of dots, but the left lever does nothing.   I know that this is going to be something simple, but what am I missing?  Thanks, Hayden Wilson  KN4FLN
