To all you KX3 experts out there, I am sure I have something wrong with the KX3 since it just has to be better than the experience I have had so far. I am hoping that someone can point out some flaw or thing I can check or correct.
Problem Number One: I have audio key clicks when sending (using paddle and keyer). These clicks show up in headphones and on speaker. Using a separate receiver for copy, I detect no key clicks in the actual transmitted signal. Any clues? So far I have experimented with AF level, RF level, and Filter Width. I can get the clicks to disappear with the filter down to 100 Hz but I am not sure if this indicates anything. Problem Number Two: Receive performance is not what I would expect. There are many signals I can hear and receive on my K3 that I cannot hear on the KX3 using the very same antenna. If the signal is strong, I can hear it on the KX3 but it has to be pretty strong like S9 on the K3. Although, while playing with this today I did hear D44AC on 20-meters on the KX3 and immediately switched to the K3 and turned the KPA500 on to break up the pile up -- my first Cape Verde QSO. So, any ideas would be appreciated to either or both problems. 73, phil, K7PEH ______________________________________________________________ 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
