Part C
. Remove the short screw holding the clamp to the bottom of the KXer,
and stow it in the threaded hole in the rear of the base. Place the clamp on
the base with the head of the short screw entering the round hole of the
clamp and pass the long screw through the base and then through elongated
hole in the clamp. Then thread the long screw into the lower hole (the clamp
mounting hole) and tighten it, being sure that the KXer is aligned with the long
axis of the base.
Part D
. The KXer mounted on its base. The phone plug is
available to make connection with the rig or a keyer via a stereo phone cable.
Unscrew the 6-32 stud from the KX-1 and store it in the hole in the front of the
KXer, using the upper clamp screw to retain it.
The KXer connected
via a stereo cable.
The
weight of the key,
along with the plastic
feet, should be
sufficient to keep it in
one place during
keying. Note – the
paddle is wired so that
the tip of the phone
plug is for ‘dits’ and the
ring is for ‘dahs’; the
barrel is ground.
Packing it Away –
The KXer can be left attached to the base for storage. Unscrew the
legs from their operating position. Stow the long legs in the holes in the front
of the base. These holes are threaded at their bottoms so that the legs can
be retained. Avoid tightening the stored legs excessively. The front leg can
be left in place or threaded into the rear hole. Use a free 4-40 hole to hold
the short bottom clamp screw.
