Yeah, I'm kinda surprised myself that they did anything on the ham bands at
all; I would have expected them to stay out of anything that could
interfere with us. For instance, I just logged into my Spectrum-provided
cable modem and the closest they seem to get to the ham bands around here
is
Hi Joe,

(SSB/CW on the weak signal portions of VHF/UHF), 28MHz is perfectly okay.
Personally, I like choices, so I've considered getting a 10MHz IF if I ever
got deep into transverters. This would in theory allow full

FWIW, we use a Nest Protect here (hardwired into A/C, too) and haven't had
problems with RFI. I imagine it'd be a different story if it didn't use

Speaking of Wi-Fi, our Ubiquiti access point required at least four
Ethernet chokes, a third party PoE injector and CAT7 shielded cable
this comes as a kit, yes? Then perhaps the kit

Hi all,
Does anyone know what exactly would replace the microphone nut on the KX3?
(I seem to have somehow misplaced mine.) The jack itself seemed to measure
1/4" OD but some 1/4"-32 panel nuts that I found don't seem to screw into
it.
Thanks,

I've been playing with a MFJ loop for my second floor condo and I can say
that loops are extremely sensitive to any close objects/surfaces. For
instance, tuning changed significantly when I had mine laying on the roof
vs. ~4ft above it (to the point where SWR was marginal on the lower part of

Hi Drew,
I got 2.36A current consumption @ 5W using a dummy load and the TX button
on 50.100MHz USB with my KX3 (S/N 3262). The voltage dropped from 13.74V to
13.67V during transmit. (Measured using an in-line Powerpole meter attached
between a 54Ah LiFePO4 battery and the KX3.) Hopefully this
FWIW, my KX3 handles 15 watts digital with no issues as far as I can tell.
I did the temperature compensation and have a third party heatsink, though.
I haven't looked too much at third party heatsinks for the KX2 but I
imagine I'd probably want to follow that 50% advice even with one installed
I used this one from Geppetto Electronics when I last ran temperature
compensation on my KX3:
https://www.tindie.com/products/nsayer/gps-disciplined-ocxo/. One advantage
is that it also produces NMEA output along with PPS, so one could build a
GPS-based NTP server at some point in the future. It
However,
for those who primarily use it as a transverter input, there may still be
some value in doing so.

Hi all,
I recently redid temperature compensation on my KX3 using a GPSDO that I
purchased to see what kind of results I could get. (I last did it a while
ago with the XG50 and didn't have any complaints about operation afterward,
but I also pretty much only used 20 meters and below.) Below is
Hi all,
I recently upgraded to a 13 retina MacBook Pro and am trying to set up
fldigi and flrig. At the moment I have flrig working and talking to fldigi
and can adjust most of the KX3 from the flrig application. However,
occasionally when I flip fldigi into transmit mode to respond to someone,
I actually built one from an Arduino before. It's accurate within
milliseconds (which is enough for JT65), but I'm sure it could be made
better. (Source code at https://github.com/tmiw/arduino-ntpd if interested.)
