Surely we don't need 3 separate utilities for the K3, P3 and KPA500. I could
accept a separate utility short term for the P3, but this is getting out of
hand. Will there be yet another utility for the high power antenna tuner? My
desktop is getting crowded with Elecraft utilities.

Are the KPA500 kits going to be delayed or are you still hoping to ship
kits on the 15th?

If you are a casual 2M op than the 910H will serve you well, but if you
are a contest op, then I would keep the XV144. You will be disappointed in the

Hi,
You forgot the one for the XG3, hihi. I am not sure that is necessarily bad
with separate utilities for separate products. With an all-in-one utility it
would constantly have to be updated as new products are added, and you run
the risk of breaking things that would otherwise be mature. And
Bob/AB5N wrote of an antenna for the KX1:
I believe the criteria for an excellent antenna will be as follows:
1. Will match up well using the internal tuner on all four bands.
2. Has enough metal in the air to provide adequate microvolts to
the RX - to make it function well without being
That would be my suggestion.
Those with SVGA monitors can purchase DVI to SVGA adapters.

Hi guys-
Well, this is just a call to other KX-1 operators to ask this question:
When you cycle through the bands, are the noise floor (hiss) levels

My general sensitivity and hiss levels go as follow from most noise to
least:

Does anyone know what the output impedance of the KX1 is

I have a stash of the iPads etc that are broken so the speakers are very usable.
Also does anyone have a KX1 for sale used new built or unbuilt

The DVI standard is deliberately backwards compatible with VGA. The small
grouping of contacts in a DVI connector are intended for analog VGA video

That's all there was. The big thing was that a few parts in the current kits

Speaking of big monitors...wouldn't it make more sense for the P3

No, DVI is becoming lost ... most of the newer high performance

Don,
Compare the voltage on U4 pin 7 to your power supply output voltage, if
your input voltage is low, many of the other voltages will be lower too.
On the receive problem - Do you have the jumper across the band board J2
installed? If not present (if the KAT1 is absent), there will be no
Phil,
The output impedance of the driver is not important as long as it is a
low impedance source - and in the KX1 it is low.
I don't know about the iThings, but the KX1 will drive amplified

Listening with an antenna connected is not going to give you a clear

To determine sensitivity, you must disconnect the antenna -
