Hi Folks Owned a KX3 for a while but never used portable until recently. Antenna is a 40m dipole, coax fed. Nothing exotic.
For some reason the KX3 tuner has a problem getting a good match. It settles on something like 1.8/1 which is not big deal except other transcievers show near perfect match around 7.1megs. Latest firmware ver loaded. Now here is the odd part; above 7260 fast perfect match. Move down 1khz to 7259 and the tuner won't match correctly. On a 50 ohm dummy load tuner is faultless. Some thing I noted is the VSWR reading on the KX3 seems out of line with other equipment. Not sure what the story is ? in the meantime the KX3 is back on the shelf, my K2 built several years ago is doing splendid service cheers Paul b zl1ajy -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX-3-4092-tp7589040.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ 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]
