[Elecraft] KXPD2 difficulties

[Augie "Gus" Hansen]

Be sure the plug is fully inserted into the jack. Sounds like you have 
only one of the two circuits connected. Unless you have set up for left 
handed operation the dots should be on the left.

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
