Got my answer from N6ML. Thank you.
This info (page199) should be included in the shorter Remote Rig version
supplied with the K3/0. I'm not one who reads and comprehends long radio

Elecraft posted a photograph on Twitter last week at the same time as the
KXPA100 photos and, I believe, showed it at Visalia. A full size K3 front
panel on a KX3-like enclosure - possibly thinner than the KX3 (hard to tell
from photo). They say it will be shown at Friedrichshaven too.

4 ft is a miserably short counterpoise for 20 and 40M -- a good rule of

Don -
Rather more likely that you need a longer counterpoise wire. The
antenna length seems fine. Try a 25' to 35' counterpoise and see if
that fixes the problem. Note that the counterpoise does not need to be
run all in the same direction - bends are acceptable.

Hello folks,
Just got my new KX3 and couldn't be more excited but I'm having a problem I
hope
the group can help me solve. My KX3 is factory built with the KXBC3. I
installed
new Powerex 2700mAh NiMH batteries and went to charge them. I had the KX3
connected to an Astron SS-30 and got a LO SPPLY
Check the terminal voltage when the batteries start charging. If it's below
13.8V when loaded and charging is enabled, you would get the LO SPPLY message.
The KXBC3 charges at a VERY low rate (around 200 mA), so it's not likely that
the charging itself is loading the PS down.
Matt Zilmer,
:
The K3/0 should allow you to control a K3 over a RS232 connection,
which could be a fairly long cable (up to 50 feet, perhaps?),
Another very useful fact -- RS232 uses an unbalanced connection, and the
connection is NOT impedance-matched. That is, the source has a low
source impedance and
My KX3 had exactly the same issue when it arrived here. Shop-built. It
was returned for service and it turned out to be a bent pin on the
charger/clock option board.
Disappointing but quickly resolved.

I kind of like the LiFePo4's myself. I am using the 4s1p (2.3Ah) and 4s2p
(4.6Ah) packs from Buddipole. They run from 14V to 12V before needing a
charge. Not associated with them in any way, just like their batteries and
chargers. Simplicity itself!

I'm curious if RIT on the KX3 should behave the way it does when under

Mark,
I believe the results of what you are seeing is dependent on the
commands issued by CW Skimmer. The KX3 can do as you request if it is
given the correct commands (in the correct order). You might want to
ask the CW Skimmer folks to implement your request.

Hi Mark,
The KX3 is doing exactly what it's being told to do - i.e. change its
VFO A frequency to whatever you clicked on. CW Skimmer assumes that
you will be listening to the audio that it decodes from the I/F, and
not the audio coming from the radio's receiver. If you want CW Skimmer

Thank you! SPLIT is the perfect solution for my scenario and much better than
