KXPD1 as a sideswiper?

Gio
Good Day Everyone,

Is it possible to re-jigger the KXPD1 as a sideswiper (not a straight key)?

Tnx es 72/73,

John,

Certainly, but it is a permanent change (until changed back) and
requires soldering.
Leave the wire to the dot side board (the one connected to the tip of
the plug - use your ohmmeter) connected, but remove the wire to the dash
side (goes to the ring).
Then wire the dot side and dash side boards together.

Set the INP menu to HND and swipe away.

73,
