I was there with K4VD for this. Same thing happened last year at Field Day too, although the antenna arrangement was different for FD.
Actually, it was a K1 that was hearing the KX3. We stopped using the 817 when we switched to CW at my station. It wasn't a pure tone I was hearing, more of a "whoosh," and pretty faint. Not enough to interrupt anything I was trying to copy. Sometimes I could copy the whooshes, sometimes they were just noise. Also, as I recollect, I could only hear the KX3 through the K1 when you were using the KXPD3. When using your external paddles I couldn't hear anything. -detrick KI4STU ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kevin - K4VD <[email protected]> To: Elecraft Reflector Reflector <[email protected]> Cc: Bcc: Date: Sun, 16 Apr 2017 14:58:23 -0400 Subject: Re: [Elecraft] OT - operating QRP at same park I understand we are speaking about the KX2 here but I'm curious... would roofing filters have helped in this situation? In a recent WWFF outing we had a KX3 and an FT-817 set up. We separated the antennas best we could but really didn't pay a lot of attention to it. I believe the KX3 was on 40 and the 817 on 20 meters. The KX3 never heard the 817 but the 817 (no roofing filters I think) washed out when the KX3 was keyed. The radios were about 30 feet apart and the antennas maybe 40-50 feet apart. If the KX3's success was due to the roofing filters installed, could some sort of external filter added to the KX2 contribute to a solution? Is the KX3 meant to play well with others while the KX2 is intended more for a solo trip? I understand W4RT has optional roofing filters for the FT-817. I wonder if he or someone might come out with a good option for the KX2. Then again... am I way off base here? 73, Kev K4VD ______________________________________________________________ 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]
