Now before you guys think I too am complaining--no, I just have a curious mind! Two questions that I am sure you more experienced can help me with: 1. When I begin narrowing the DSP down, on filter 1 (2.7, std, offset -0.84) only the lower freq side moves. The DSP switches to the 2.1 filter,

Hi all; It has been a week or so since my question but have not had time to give an update.     First, I received several good suggestions (Wayne/N6KR suggested that check the settings for the filters, and Brian/K3KO mentioned that it might be a squelch problem), unfortunately nothing

Sam; Your explanation is really good Sam, but it seems that something doesn't follow for me. cut... Turn on the RIT control (tap the RIT button). Next, lower the RIT frequency -20 Hz. (You must have CONFIG:PB CTRL in the config menu set to .01 to move in 10 Hz

    Try disconnecting the K3 from the program without touching anything else.  I recently discovered that if I disconnect my logging program (so it is not directly controlling my K3) it will reduce noise level on 15m, about half, making weak signals very readable.  When I opened the

Hello all;     I am ordering a P3 today and would like to consider ordering a second KXUSB as a backup because I have nightmares that my cable might fail and I will be left without a hookup at a critical moment.     Is the KXUSBa that came with my KX3 interchangeable as a backup?  I know, I

Hi all; From: Bob Cunnings bob.cunni...@gmail.com Check the K3 schematics - there *is* a static bleed resistor at each antenna input, including the KXV3 Rx Ant In jack. Gas discharge tubes are also present in the KANT3, KAT3 and KRX3. Bob NW8L I certainly

From: Don Wilhelm w3...@embarqmail.com I do not understand your concern for the K3.  The KAT3 was working to produce a low SWR (and a 50 ohm load) for the K3, so that condition was apparently satisfied.  The high voltage condition existed only at the

Unusual to see that as an issue without using an amplifier, however the high antenna feedpoint impedance on such setups produce a high voltage at that point, despite the atu proving a 50 ohm impedance match to the transceiver. I agree, and since I am only

Hi all;     What about spray-on rubber cement from places like office supply stores?      You would need to do some masking to keep the cement just below the grill and maybe some on the grill itself to make sure it doesn't get in the area of the openings (assuming the KX3 is like the K3--mine
