Don,
I've had another think the low readings I get at LPF,BPF T-R sw o/p's
using the 10Mhz oscillator are with the VFO set so that I can hear the
oscillator signal, not at 40m. Should the signal still be attenuated under
these conditions?
The low power o/p problem occurred while trying to

I’ve had a ball with my KX3 and AlexLoop Walkham, particularly on 20- and
17-meters. Very easy to set-up, and easy to tune with just a little practice.

website at www.ad5x.com. Included in that review is a simple
Brian,
Do you have the K2 completely built? or have you only built it up to the
point where you can receive 40 meters? I guess the point that you said
you had trouble adjusting the 40 meter BPF made me think the 10 MHz
oscillator might not work for you.
If you have it completely built,
Don,
Yes the K2 is completely built I was at alignment test part 3 when I had
the low o/p power problem. I started the transmit
signal tracing procedure did the receive testing to check the shared
circuits as instructed in the manual.
I'll carry on with the transmit signal tracing see
Another feature to look for in remote power switches is what mine calls
Auto-ping. You set up the switch to ping a remote, highly reliable server

Hi Mike,
Most operators use the mic's PTT button, but you can also tap XMIT to start/end
transmit.
There's one catch, having to do with DTMF. For numeric keypad purposes, XMIT is
used as the '0' switch. So if you tap XMIT, then
This may be possible, and it's on the wish-list.

Thanks Elecraft for making K3, I also love my KX3.
While I passed my 20 wpm code for extra in 2000 just before the cut over, I
am not great at CW, sending or receiving. (I plan to work on it more this
winter on a local slownet).
Anyway, using the K3 this weekend, I was able to really enjoy doing
KX3 beta firmware rev 1.68 (with DSP rev 1.23) is now available. See release

I would to use an existing 2 meter xvtr with the KX3. No problem except my
primary use would be for satellite operation. That is in the 145.8 to 146.0
mhz. That would correspond to 29.8 to 30.0 mhz, which is out of band for
the KX3. So, is there a way to allow transmit just above the ten meter
Does anyone know the MFG and PN of a Clamp/Solder type PL259. This style

Clint,
The ones I have used are made by Multicomp. I have only used
the one for RG213. The center pin is soldered. Very useful when

The short answer is that you need to disconnect the K3 from the KPA when using
it with another rig.
The long answer? It would probably work the way you want if you leave the K3
powered up. That’s probably not a good idea though. The problem is that the K3
has internal pull-up resistors to VCC
IMHO, Sanyo Eneloop 2000 cells are the best value out there. They work well
and are Low Self Discharge (LSD) cells. They are available at Costco, or
on-line from various Amazon suppliers. Sanyo really got the chemistry right,
and I highly recommend them along with the KXBC3, especially if
