KX2/KX3 Single Lever Mini Paddle kit

 QRPBuilder KX Mini Single Lever Paddle kit – $25



   

We will also be at Dayton FDIM2024 vendor night, Thursday May 16, with all the kits available.
 

No need to take your expensive paddle out into the field, or if you want to try an attached paddle to your KX3/KX2, here is an inexpensive practical alternative. You construct it from the individually routed PCB pieces, and after soldering, forms a strong mechanical assembly. All the electrical circuitry is embedded into the pieces and forms the needed connections upon assembly and fits onto the standard Elecraft KX3/KX2 mounting holes and internal connector pins, with no adapters or separate wires.

The paddle is a single lever design with all stainless steel levers and contact hardware. The assembled weight is less than 1/2 oz. (13.2 gm). All the hardware is included. The tools required are a soldering iron with a small tip, rosin core solder, #1 Phillips screwdriver, needle nose pliers, tweezers for the small hardware, and a flat surface to work on. Allow an hour or so to build. The assembly hardware is small, so on a difficulty scale of 1 to 5, 5 being the most difficult, this is rated at 3-4.

Why have a paddle that can only be used with one radio? This paddle can be used with the Mini Paddle Adapter to make it into a standalone paddle that can be used on any radio.
