Re: [Elecraft] KX3 Meter Display Question

Jim, No, the display will normally go back to displaying the RF level. After setting the audio level to the KX3 (K3 or K3S), that level is not going to change unless you make some changes to the computer audio level. If you do that, just change the MIC GAIN knob a little bit and the display

Make sure the RADIO setting in the K3 didn’t get changed away from K3. More specifically, it sounds like it was changed to ANALOG without having the proper pin connected to the Icom’s analog band data signal. If that isn’t the problem, then I’ll have more questions to see how we might fix the

Frank, Don't forget that in addition to the K160RX board, you will need the capacitors for the 80/160m bandpass filter, the standoff, the header (it is taller than normal) and the BNC jack. There is more to the K160RX kit than just the board. The Elecraft kit has all the components

Yeah. But then you run into the exact problem, because the TX icon ALWAYS flashes when you have TX INHIBIT engaged. You THINK the K3 is in TEST MODE, but it isn't. You DONT KNOW if your K3 is in Test Mode or not. Blinking Icons on a display make me think of something is wrong, in case of
