Hi Udo
Before you start tearing the rig apart, two ideas:-
-is there a big difference for weak signals of say S4?
-if not, it may just be the S meter calibration that needs attention.
-if so, preamp on for either? Att on for main?

I use a Zoom H2 stereo recorder which has a line input you can connect
direct to the K3 line out. You can set the recording format to something
economical like .mp3 at 48kbps - don't need hifi. It connects to a
computer with USB. They're used for live music so good quality (AFAICT).

Hi Bob
The phones I use have separate mic and phones plugs - I'm only plugging
/ unplugging the phones. And the phones aren't the problem since it all
works fine in normal phone transmit. The problem (stopping the rig from
transmitting) only arises when playing a DVR message.
I tap MSG, hold
I'm using my KX3 in a ssb contest and calling cq with a message recorded
in the DVR.
I tap MSG, hold 1 or 2 for a message to be repeated. While transmitting,
I unplug the headphones (or plug them in if previously unplugged). This
causes it to stop transmitting, the KX3 display goes blank for
What frequency? What spacing between the peaks?
On VHF this effect can often be seen due to aircraft scatter, ie doppler
shifted returns as well as the direct one.
So lots of possible explanations.

I have no problem driving a linear with a slow relay from my K3, but my
KX3 causes the linear to trip out when I try to use the cw in ssb mode
(cw in cw mode behaves ok). In the K3 manual it refers to the delay in
producing RF – TX DLY which has a default of 8ms. But I can't see an
equivalent
Bit of a weird effect found here. I am using an external 2m transverter
to 28MHz. I noticed that when switching between VFOs using the A/B
switch from (eg) 145.7875FM to 144.430 usb, the KX3 says “Hi Sig” and
disconnects the preamp. This still happens with nothing connected to the
KX3's
Since updating my K3 f/w to 5.01, I find that the time to switch between
VFO A and B has increased noticeably - it used to be near
instantaneous. This is not good when used in a contest and needing to
switch rapidly between frequencies. Anyone else noticed this?

Hi Gary
I hear it as you do.
The amplitude of the transient depends on the received noise level. This
can be demonstrated with the rf gain control, but setting the gain
control low and then increasing the received noise level with eg a
preamp brings the transient back, so it's the actual
Yes, it's a significant improvement. There's still some slight
transient click but much better. Well done Elecraft!

I'm very interested in this topic, having raised this question a long
time back. What I said in June 2011 was:-
