[Elecraft] Soon To Be KX-3 Owner Question ...
Guy's... Can someone shed some light on wether the KX-3 has got audible (to the ear) CW Sidetone from the internal speaker / Like we are mostly used to with just about any other radio ? Just watched the KX3 Activates Little Si For Summits On The Air - SOTA video on Youtube ...way ta go fella's who did that ! But one thing that to me seems apparent in the video is the LACK of high volume on the internal speaker for when a person is actually keying the radio themselves... As apposed to the station coming back to them Perhaps it was just the outdoors location that seemed to mute or make the audio from the KX3's internal speaker sound a bit lower in volume the sidetone oscillation audio on the video, I don't know..so thought I'd ask for comments from folks with more experience..

Hi Andy, Can someone shed some light on wether the KX-3 has got audible (to the ear) CW Sidetone from the internal speaker / Like we are mostly used to with just about any other radio ? Yes, or you can use headphones or external amplified speakers. ...one thing that to me seems apparent in the video is the LACK of high volume on the internal speaker for when a person is actually keying the radio themselves... You can crank the sidetone up as high as you like, independent of the receiver's AF gain. I imagine the operator in the video had it set to his liking. The sidetone can be quite loud from the internal speaker. Of course it's a small speaker, not intended for use in mobile or other high- noise situations. For mobile use, you can patch the audio through your car's stereo, and for outdoor use, I highly recommend headphones or earbuds. 73, Wayne N6KR __ 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

Some good ones are the musician in-ear earphones made by Shure and Etymotic Research, both located near Chicago. In addition to sounding good, the better models are more comfortable and do a better job of sealing out external sounds. 73, Jim K9YC __ 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
