Good morning experts,
KXPA100 (serial #996) is back from the Elecraft shop. It spent about 3 weeks
unconnected from its KX3. I sent it in because the amp was faulting and
shutting down with NO detection of the fault using the KX3 or KXPA100
utilities. The amp relay clicked and … just shut down
Hi folks,
I know this has been asked and discussed before but I can’t seem to get a
handle on a clear-cut answer …
I am going to do a SSB NPOTA (National Parks on the Air) activation with my
KX3/KXPA100/PX3 on battery power. It has been in the works for a while with a
special use permit
Hi Mark,
Yes, QRP is a challenge. For the first 2 years with my KX3, I ran it ONLY QRP
with LiFePo external batteries or external power supply. I learned to be
persistent.
From my QTH east of Los Angeles in the San Bernardino mountains on New Year’s
Eve 2013, I reached the Amundsen-Scott
New KXPA100 (with 100w internal ATU) for KX3 owner. I have the KX3 and KXPA100
hooked up with the Elecraft supplied cables.
In the Amplifier section of the utility, when using the KXPA utility, why is
the PA Bypass box checked? I understand the Attenuator box being unchecked.
In the Anntenna
Newbie Dave, KX3 owner with built in ATU. I have a loop antenna feed point line
question. I know this is not an antenna group but I want something optimized
for the KX3 and QRP.
I have installed a 40 meter skywire horizontal loop antenna in my attic, 135
feet in length. I hope to use the
Hello folks,
Newbie Dave, K6WDE/KH6 with my Elecraft KX3.
Question: Dual Watch versus Split Mode, which is best? Is is personal
preference? Yes, I did read the Elecraft Operating Note - Working a Pile-Up
using the Dual Watch feature on the KX3 article. I am still confused though.
As I
Hi folks,
Newbie Dave with a KX3 and a brand new pair of Yamaha CM-500 headphones. I need
a PTT switch. I’d like to build one. Is it as easy as wiring a momentary PTT,
using the ACC2 port, the ACC2 I/O ON menu settings and a 1/8” mini jack?
Read both the Elecraft manual and the Fred Cady book,
Hi folks,
Newbie Dave, K6WDE, here with my KX3 WOW moment.
Late yesterday afternoon, New Year’s Eve, I spotted and heard KC4AAA
broadcasting on 20 meters from the AMUNDSEN-SCOTT SOUTH POLE STATION.
Obviously, there was a hugh pile-up for quite some time. I listened and
listened. There were
Yep, mine drifts and I’ve had it up to a couple of minutes off. Surprisingly,
for a week’s time, it can be about a minute or so off. I will pay more
attention and keep track.
Dave, K6WDE

Hello Arno,
I just picked up 2 of these 13.2v, 4200mAh LiFePo batteries from HobbyKing. So
far, they are working great. I retired my SLA 12v, 5Ah battery too. Twice the
amp-hours at 1/2 the weight. They run at 13.2 volts, so portable I can run the
12 watts for a bit.
Hi folks,
Newbie HF Dave here again with an end fed antenna design question.
I have an EARCH (Emergency Amateur Radio Club, Hawaii) end fed 6-40 meter
multiband HF antenna. Part of the design is the 9:1 UNUN (unbalanced to
unbalanced) toroid matching transformer. I have replaced the 30' wire
Thanks folks for all the effort getting us QRP folks checked in last Sunday. It
is much appreciated and further enhances the team support feeling I get from
the mailing group (and Elecraft in general). I am glad I bought into the
Elecraft universe.
Aloha,
Dave
K6WDE/KH6
Thank you to the operator that pulled me out of the noise this morning during
the net. I think he was able to relay my checkin somewhere around 11:30 to
11:40 PST to net control. I could hear operators asking for QRP, portable and
mobile stations. Thank you for that approach for us little
Thank you all for the discussion of us low power KX3 folks and the Sunday SSB
net checkin. I appreciate the ideas of defined time slots for QRP, portable and
mobile stations and the big guns listening and relaying when possible.
Standing by this Sunday,
Dave
K6WDE/KH6 (corrected from KH7)
How can we as a group increase the results of the Sunday SSB net for those of
us who have KX3s running barefoot? Only 2 of the 34 checkins on Sunday were
KX3s.
Frustrated and disappointed … but I keep trying …

Might I suggest (like I think was done in the past) that a few minutes (defined
clearly) are set aside for us QRP KX3 folks to check in?
I am temporarily located in Waikoloa, HI (BK29CW). I can hear the relay from
N6JW in Riverside, CA. and sometimes can directly hear NS7P from Elmira,

I am still a newbie too, it'll happen. I use an iMic on an Macbook Pro with
Fldigi software. It is very easy to use.

Hi folks,
HF Newbie frustrated with PSK-31 setup on my new KX3. I have tried everything
