Hello,
it´s possible to use a BNC switch to connect the RX antennas to the RX ANT
IN and the AUX connectors in the K3? Or is better to use a BNC splitter.
I want to use it to switch between RX antenna and diversity mode (AUX).
Will be any loose of reception with a switch or splitter? Wich one
Hmmm..look like EMTRON's...
Hope he has better luck with them than I had with 2 units..:-(

Hi,
That's almost certainly the 4th harmonic of an NTSC TV color burst
oscillator. It should zero beat at 14318kHz. The one I hear (about S3) has
multiple tones a few hundred Hz apart so the manual notch doesn't do a
perfect job of eliminating it but it helps a lot. It's not necessarily from

Mike, It sounds like you have memories set up on both sides of 146 MHz.
There is a relay that clicks when you shift L.O. frequency range from
144-146 and 146-148 MHz in the K144XV.
Try tuning across 146 MHz with your VFO and see if you hear the same click.
If so that would be it, but it should

All it takes to have a robust 2nd harmonic is something non-linear in the
circuitry using the 3.579 MHz color burst frequency. Consider the difference
frequency between the fundamental and the third harmonic such a non-linear
device would produce.

It could also be another device that uses a crystal frequency of 14.31818 MHz.
That is also a very popular Microcontroller frequency.
You might also want to look at the computer video card since it probably
