Can we get a little more in-depth technical explanation as to why the P3 can't display decoded text on its TFT-LCD display? Neither the P3SVGA nor PX3 decode text. They simply display text characters already decoded by the K3 and KX3, respectively. Why can't the P3 write the text decoded by

Hi Wayne, What's the best way to move a PX3 Internal SVGA Large Screen Adapter up the priority list? What's the best way to gauge interest? I don't imagine you want a bunch of "I want one", "Count me in", ... posts to the reflector. Do we have a polling mechanism (other than through the

We have used some crazy antennas with our KX3s. N8NCR connected to my random length 100'+ antenna in the front yard, held the KX3 in his hand, no ground, and worked 20mtr SSB dx with 5x7 report. I used a 60' wire up 10' with a 50 wire counterpoise on the ground, from Rockville Md., and

Don, If your 135 foot radiator is center fed with either coax or parallel transmission line, it will work well on 80 meters. If you use parallel transmission line, it can easily be tuned for other bands as well. If you are thinking of feeding that 135 foot radiator from the end, in a word
