KXPD3 Improved?

[Philip Alley]

In looking at the Elecraft goodies page today I notice they now offer the KXPD3 (KX3 Paddles) which “include improved dot/dash paddle connection wires”.

Has anyone had experience with this improvement?  My paddles are so unreliable as to be useless in spite of receiving the factory mod which I believe amounted to better plating on some parts.

Is this offered as an upgrade?

I know others have described adding fine wires to solve the problem but I considered the procedure beyond my skills.

Phil,

Yes, Elecraft has an upgrade program in place.  Either upgrade your old
KXPD3 or get a new one as an exchange.  Of course, there is $$$ involved.

Contact K3support to get the details.
