The specs for frequency stability are not good enough for the JT65 modes (+/- 1 ppm typical over 0-50 C). On 2m, that would be +/- 144Hz. The extended temperature compensation improves that, but it will never be as stable as a K3 with an external reference.
Did you expect it to perform much, much better than the specs? The FT-817 specs are: ± 4 ppm from 1 min. to 60 min. after power on. 25° C: 1 ppm/hour wunder K6WRU On Apr 8, 2014, at 2:58 PM, "Dave" <[email protected]> wrote: > The more I see, the more I realise that the promised 2M unit is going to be a > very poor option for people who use VHF and UHF seriously. > > I have re awakened my use of HF, but I did buy the Elecraft KX3 with the > promise of a decent 2M option. > > Where do I apply to return my KX3 for a full refund ? > > Dave (G0DJA) ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to [email protected]
