At LX7I we had 2 x K3 on the same antenna, locked out with the Acom 2S1 box. One of the K3 had the I7SWX K3 2T H-Mode Mixer installed, the other K3 was in original state. I did not tell about the difference to anybody but after the contest one of the operators told me I should check the K3 because there were weak stations that he could hear with one K3 (the modified one) and could not hear them with the other K (the original K3). LX7I has large/high antennas, see www.lx2a.com So yes your mixer gives a slight and sometimes decisive advantage, congrats.

I agree with Joe. But must say: no worries about Mods.dk An account is easy (no different from this group), and there's lots of info on all kinds if mods on all kinds of hamradio-rigs. If anyone is looking for mods, mods.dk is the place to be.

Sabato 23 Febbraio 2013 23:02 A Modified K3 in the 2013 ARRL DX Contest ? Giancarlo, I did a test in the 2013 ARRL DX contest. At LX7I we had 2 x K3 on the same antenna, locked out with the Acom 2S1 box. One of the K3 had the I7SWX K3 2T H-Mode Mixer installed, the other K3 was in original state. I did not tell about the difference to anybody but after the contest one of the operators told me I should check the K3 because there were weak stations that he could hear with one K3 (the modified one) and could not hear them with the other K (the original K3). LX7I has large/high antennas, see www.lx2a.com So yes your mixer gives a slight and sometimes decisive advantage, congrats.

I will send you the file to your direct address. Tank you . As reported by Arie PA3A, you have to register into the account, it is done to protect it. I'm aware of the history of mods.dk. Unfortunately, I have not been able to access the site reliably ever since they went to registrations (and am aware of many others in the same situation) to the extent that I no longer bother trying the site. The same material can often be found on other much more user friendly sites. 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 2/26/2013 12:48 PM, Giancarlo Moda wrote: Hi Joe, sorry for the trouble accessing the MODS.DK site.
