KX1 - Paddle

MASH-2
Hi All:

Is there is setting on the KX1 to adjust which side of the
accompanying paddle is dits and which side are dahs?

Alos, I have noticed this listserv is now mainly a K3 listserv.
My questions and some of othes on KX1 have gone unasnwered. I ask
Eric, who assured me at HamCon in Sept. 2007 that help is
available on this listserv forKX1 owners, to consider setting up
another listserv for K3 owners.

Cliff, WW6CC

RE: KX1 - Paddle

Brett Howard
I've seen many people get help on here amongst the K3 info on their other
radios.  I've personally helped a few with K1 problems and I've seen quite a
bit of info going back and forth about the K2.  I don't have a KX1 so I
don't really have an answer for you but just because your question doesn't
get an immediate answer doesn't mean you're being ignored.  It may not be
possible or people just flat out don't know...  I really don't see the need
for separate lists.  It's just that in "Elecraft land" the K3 is the most
interesting topic to people.  Give it time.... It'll change!

Yes, see page 65 of the KX1 owners's manual - it's the INP menu entry
which allows the selection of hand key and normal or reversed paddles.

Cliff,

I do not recall seeing your query about the KX1 paddle settings, but I
may have missed it, even though I do try to skim all the Elecraft
reflector posts.

If you look on page 65 of the KX1 owner's manual you will find the
various menu entries. INP is one of them and will allow you to select
HAND, PDLn, or PDLr.  The PDLn or PDLr will swap the action of the dot
and dash paddle entries.

Similar information can be obtained on page 7 of the KXPD1 manual.

I could just say RT*M, but I usually try to answer questions from
builders who who overlook those bits of information in the Elecraft
manuals, so I typically spend about 2 hours a day answering similar
questions - and NO!, I do not get paid by Elecraft for that effort, that
is a contribution that I am willing to share with other builders.  This
reflector is for communications between builders of Elecraft kits, but
it is not the official Elecraft support mechanism - you can always email
[hidden email] for the 'official' answers.

Yes.  I accidentally wired my paddle backwards to the way I use it, so I
just went to the menu and selected inverted.

Well, there are fewer KX1's out there than the others which probably
accounts for some of that, and of course the K3 is new so it gets a lot
of attention.  The KX1 has also been very stable ... I think the last
mod/option to it was the 80/30 board which may be well over a year old.
  You can go into the list server using the userid and password you get
at the first of each month and set your preference to "digest mode" and
you'll get one email a day [or so] with all the postings *and* a table
of contents of the subjects.  I've been using it for some time now.
