Hi Johnny, I think you meant ZL8X. I'm sure glad that they are using a K3 on that Dxpedition to Kermadec. They must have been using it on 160 Meters this morning when I worked them. I was running 100 Watts to an Inverted-L from my VA QTH. They were Q5 here on my K3 with the APF turned ON. There is nothing wrong with the APF, but I did notice that when I reduced the RF gain control a bit the copy became better. Must have been hitting the DSP with a bit too much of my local noise.
ZL8X on Kermadec Island is K1HTV country #221 with 100 Watts. I can thank having K3 on both ends of the path, as also occurred for my 160M QSO with Dave, KH2/N2NL a few weeks ago. Thank you Elecraft! 73, Rich - K1HTV = = = -----Original Message----- From: Johnny Siu [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Saturday, November 20, 2010 19:02 PM To: Elecraft Subject: [Elecraft] ZLX8 - K3 firmware Hello Group, K3 is the main radio in ZLX8. Do you know which version of Firmware they are using? Yesterday, I hear ZLX8 at 20 metre 59+. I returned to them with my QRP K3, also received 59 signal report. My KPA3 is under repair by Elecraft. cheers, Johnny VR2XMC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
