My KX3, SN 3271, is completely dead on receive. The transmitter, side tone and
monitor control are working as ever. Everything on the front screen seems the
same as ever. I don’t get any S meter reading when I inject the 50 microvolt
7040 KHz signal from my XG1. Not sure if it is staying in the transmit mode
with a transceiver switching problem, or just a problem with the receiver
circuitry. I can transmit with the KX3, and receive with my Collins 75A4. I
get 100 watts key down from my KXPA Amp. I would like to use the fine receiver
in my KX3, and would appreciate any comments. While I only operate on CW, I
listen to AM and SSB signals. I can’t even here anything when tuned to a
strong local AM station, using a wide filter.
Besides the KXBC3, my KX3 is equipped with the internal tuner.
Extra Credit for answering the following; If I am not going to use internal
batteries anymore, is there any problem with removing the cell holders and
cable. Can I also remove the KXBC3 board for possible resale? Would I need to
order a battery retainer if I am not using internal batteries?
Thanks and 73,
Rick Dettinger K7MW
