Thanks - yes, when I disconnected the EFHW wire antenna going to the KX3, then the birdie that I could hear on my Flex radio disappeared. So it’s getting out through the antenna that the KX3 is using

I just noticed something odd with my KX3. I usually use my KX3 for portable use so its not often in the shack, but yesterday I had my Flex radio’s connected to my SteppIR beam on 15, and I hooked up my KX3 to an EFHW wire which is about 100 ft away from my SteppIR. With both the Flex and the KX3 in receive mode on 15 meters, I noticed on the Panafall display of my Flex rig, that my KX3 is transmitting a birdie about 700 Hz below it’s RX frequency. When I turn the dial on the KX3 I can see it moving up and down the band on my Flex radio. It is quite strong, about 70 dBm. Is this normal ? for the KX3 to put out a “birdie” 700 hertz below it’s displayed RX frequency ? 73 John, ZS5J ______________________________________________________________ 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] ______________________________________________________________ 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]
