2 S/Ns? Not sure what you mean... No real issues on assembly - except my huge fingers made the tiny parts sometimes a challenge to put together. The Elecraft crew was great in helping me, a joy to work with.

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] KX3 Kit #80 looking for QSOs
Jeff, To set the mic gain correctly, use the ALC meter on the KX3 while operating into a dummy load. Adjust your mic level for 6 to 7 bars on the ALC meter (and do not change it no matter what others on the air tell you. With that accomplished, try compression of 10% as indicated by the meters. Now you can make some contacts and adjust the compression and TX EQ to be suitable for the ears of the listeners. I will make a couple comments about the TX EQ settings before you ask on the air - I strongly recommend you set the first two TX EX bands to minimum. Those frequencies add nothing to the intelligibility, but do consume a great amount of power at the expense of higher frequencies that do provide greater intelligibility. 73, Don W3FPR On 5/6/2012 6:46 PM, Jeff Kinzli N6GQ wrote: Hey all, KX3 (Kit) #80 is on the air.
