Hello Edward, For my K3, I got high S meter readings for local MF AM BC stations. However, for my KX3, I bearly got a reading on the S meter for the same station.

Tonight I connected my 600m band inverted-L and found I could copy am BC stations local and in Anchorage 70-mi away. I also could copy the ADIS station on 380-KHz and the RGPS beacon 3-mi away (usually a whopping -30 dBm on the SDR-IQ). it registered about S4 on the KX3. So with a 20-dB preamp sensitivity probably can be restored on 630m. The final question then is whether the KX3 is capable of transmitting there. I would be satisfied with 0-10 dBm as that is all I need to drive my 100w amp (converted NDB transmitter). I have been received 2800 km away on 495-KHz. 73, Ed - KL7UW At 09:51 AM 7/7/2012, Art Nienhouse wrote: >Ed >My KX3 copies down to .540 ok but the frequency read out is not >accurate the s meter >report is s3 across the broadcast band the copy is ok however. > >Regards >Art >ka9zap > > > >On 7/7/2012 3:33 AM, Edward R.
