Hi Dave, It may be possible to further reduce emissions, and we'll post if we have any new information. Some external cable treatments were suggested to the original poster by the world's leading authority on such issues. We added a 60-MHz low-pass filter right at the KX3's output early on, though the current issue isn't related to the antenna jack. A word on design compromises: The KX3 is a very small all-band/all-mode radio with a high degree of integration, intended for lightweight field use. To hit our size/weight/cost targets, we chose to use miniature PCB-mount connectors where practical, and did not go overboard on internal or external shielding. We did use state-of-the-art multi-layer PCB design techniques, which provides a significant shielding effect for RF paths. As a result, the KX3 passed all required tests, and very few of the thousands of KX3 owners have had any issue with emissions. That said, if solutions to specific problems become practical, we will test and document them and make components available. 73, Wayne N6KR ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
