I have configured my KX3 with my KXPA100 (previously used only with KX2) following all instructions (I think) in the KXPA100 user manual.
First comment — everything works, antenna tuner on KXPA100 works, power out 100 watts on all bands, and so on. Weird stuff: 1. I Held Keyer/Mic/PWR button for power display, showing 100 watts. Then, I immediately pushed Band+ to switch up to next band. No band switching too place but the display changed from 100 watts on KX3 back to the clock. Pressing Band+ once more results in band switching as expected. This happens every time in the sequence I describe and I am wondering if (a) this is normal, (b) something is not yet configured correctly. 2. My reason for Hold on Keyer/Mic/PWR to display power is because after switching bands and after tuning the antenna for a low SWR (about 1.1:1) the power output was only about 10 watts. I did a Hold on Keyer/Mic/PWR to see the power output and it was indeed 100 watts and not 10. I then keyed down and then the output was 100 watts. This does not seem normal to me. None of these two behaviors occurred on my KX2. Any ideas or comments? 73, phil, K7PEH ______________________________________________________________ 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
