A few KXPD3 users have found that the paddles operated intermittently.
This can be easily corrected.
First, completely remove one of the paddle thumbscrews. Next, using a
drill bit that's somewhat larger than the #4 hole, add a *very* slight
bevel (countersink) to the hole. This will remove a small amount of
the black anodizing, allowing the thumbscrew to make consistent
electrical contact with the keyer paddle housing. (The thumbscrew's
post flares slightly where it joins the face; the flared area will
contact the bevel in the aluminum.)
We've already added this step for KXPD3s shipped starting today.
