ELECRAFT KXPD1 PLUG-IN KEYER PADDLE

Assembly and Operating Instructions

Introduction

The KXPD1 is a unique plug-in keyer paddle that attaches directly to the Elecraft KX1 portable HF

transceiver. It adds just 1 oz. to total station weight, so it's an ideal solution for backpacking. Use of the

KXPD1 greatly simplifies field operation, whether the operator is sitting on the ground, in a beach chair,

standing, or even reclining. But the paddle is also very effective for use at home or on a picnic table.

The iambic (dual-lever) paddles are angled at 45 degrees for ease of use. Both left- and right-handed

operators can use the KXPD1, since it is physically reversible. The dot/dash lines can also be electrically

reversed, or the paddle set up as a hand key, simply by changing the input device selection (

INP menu

entry).

A captive thumb screw holds the KXPD1 firmly in place during use. For transport, the paddle can be

quickly removed. Solid silver contacts with protective rubber grips and a rugged, custom mounting bracket

ensure excellent field reliability. After initial set-up, no adjustments are required.
