David, If you have a dummy load and any sort of Wattmeter which can measure in 10-20 W range, that should tell you if you're getting NO power out. And make sure you have the power out dialed in at 10 watts or so in the KX3, not set to zero. 73, Phil W7OX On 6/8/16 8:42 AM, David Davis

Phil. My testing started when I started to realize that I might not have any RF output. I started to believe this to be the situation when no matter what band or mode I tried I was no longer able to make a contact of any type while working portable. When I returned home and connected my

David, You'll likely get more help if you describe what is causing you to think you might have an RF out issue with your KX3. 73, Phil W7OX On 6/7/16 9:49 PM, David Davis wrote: I might have an RF out issue with my KX3 but I am not sure how to test it. I have an Elecraft DL1 and a DMM

It is best to use CW or Tune or even AM to check power output. If you don't speak into the mic in SSB mode, the output should be zero, as the carrier is suppressed and with no audio, there is no side band. 73 Bill AE6JV On 6/7/16 at 9:49 PM, kg6...@sbcglobal.net (David Davis) wrote: I

I might have an RF out issue with my KX3 but I am not sure how to test it. I have an Elecraft DL1 and a DMM that I figure I can use to check the RF voltages and verify the power out. However, I am not sure of the exact process on how to do this. If I am keying the mic on SSB do I need to speak
