[Elecraft] KX3 VFO leakage on antenna
Is anyone else experiencing leakage from the VFO via the antenna? I had my FT-2000 on and could hear the KX3 VFO as I tuned near the KX3 operating frequency on the FT-2000. They were on separate antennas about 40 feet apart. Varying the KX3 tuning knob varied the signal on the FT-2000.

Yes -- this should do the trick.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 VFO leakage on antenna
Glad this thread popped up, noticed this earlier when out portable with a friend (or rather, he noticed it); this setting fixed it entirely. I'll keep it off unless needed as the manual seems to indicate that's the right way to go.

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 VFO leakage on antenna
The RX ISO preamp draws a bit more current than the regular preamp, so it defaults to off to preserve battery life. As far as I know, that is the only negative. KX3 models after the mid-2000 serial numbers also have a filter on the BNC to knock down some leakage in the VHF range. Mine has it — the tiniest toroid I’ve ever seen. Details about that upgrade for older KX3’s are here: http://www.elecraft.com/order_form_parts.htm#kx3 wunder K6WRU CM87wj http://observer.wunderwood.org/ On Feb 14, 2015, at 11:36 AM, David Orman orma...@corenode.com wrote: Glad this thread popped up, noticed this earlier when out portable with a friend (or rather, he noticed it); this setting fixed it entirely.
