Jim and all,

That is not quite correct. KEY1 is for the 3.5mm jack on the side panel while KEY2 is for the paddle connection on the front (the KXPD3). Check the information in the menu listing description in the manual.

Actually you can have either the tip or ring as the active contact. You
just need to set either the CW KEY1 or CW KEY2 menu items to HAND for the
one you wish to use. CW KEY1 for tip, CW KEY2 for ring. If you use a mono
plug of course your only choice would be CW KEY1.
