Tonite, I took my KX3 to code class since it has a better sounding audio than my usual square-wave keyers. To prevent any mishaps, I set the ACC2 setting to HI-TXinhibit before I left home. It seemed to work ok pressing the XMIT button.
When I got the class, I verified the "TX" was blinking. I hooked up the paddles, and....... No sidetone! Set ACC2 back to "ON" so I could key the amp tomorrow, and all was normal again. We used the radio as a keyer 'till the AA Alkalines finally gave up. I then switched to my NiMH pack and finished the night. I really wasn't expecting the TX INHIBIT to act this way. I have to get used to the fact that this is not a baby K3. It has a personality all it's own, and generally I like it. I really need to get with Rose, however and order a "Dust Cover" for my K3. It's not getting used much since the KX3 arrived. This weekend, my club is having a Special Event in Colonial Williamsburg, and I hope to take the KX3 and the THP-50B Amp and work some of the stations. Look for us Saturday after 10:00 AM on 40M near 7.265 (+/- 5). Later we will prob switch to 20M around 14.265. Call is K4RC, and we will QSL. Cert offered for working all three of our events, in May, July and October. ...bill nr4c ______________________________________________________________ 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
