I found that my K1 was very sensitive to having good electrical  
contact.  I had trouble with paddles that didn't have the bearings  
bypassed.  The same paddles worked fine with my K2.  I think this  
issue would be more likely with ball bearing paddles.  I was using  
Kent twin lever paddles.  They were not bypassed like their single  
lever model was.  It used a small piece of braid to go from ground to  
the bearing spindle.
