for Christmas :-)
Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year with good DX

I use an Alpha 4510 Power/SWR Meter and it does have a power
delivered/forward setting just for that. That setting takes all of these
factors into consideration for the final product it reads from .03-3000w.
That is the reason for my trusted Oak Hills Research WM-2 QRP wattmeter

Hi Dick
This is Ken W0CZ. I also wanted to make the VFO B area stay in text decode. I
put TT1 in PF1 and TT0 in PF2. I can not see any difference as the VFO B still
reverts back to the frequency after a short time. Did I do something wrong or
did I not understand the problem you were helping
Hi Ken,
Dick's solution works only doing Morse decode with the KX3 utility
program. So you end up using this to view your practice Morse rather
than the VFO B display area on the KX3.
I've not found a solution yet that allows you to use the KX3 standalone
and not have the VFO B area almost
I was using the K3 today. The VOX kept cycling to transmit and back
with no voice input.
Sounded like an easy problem to fix. Just touch up the antivox.
Nope.
Listening in the monitor, there is a rushing sound with clicking (like
fans in the background or something with a superimposed

David,
Iam using 5 remotely controlled rotators (1x Prosistel, 2xCreate, 2x
Yaesu) with my Remoterig RRC1258 and K3/0 + K3.
I tested few solutions.
The best (better than the Remoterig solution) for me is the PstRotator

Dr Vic,
Iam using K2 and LP-100A Wattmeter for my remotely controlled station,
both works fine.
The K2 accuracy for SWR upto 2 is enough good (10%).
If you need more sophisticated Wattmeter, use the LP-100A.
http://www.telepostinc.com/lp100.html
LP-100A can indicate the pure FWD power. And
My TT1 suggestion applies to the text decode sent to the terminal which in
this case can be the KX3 Utility on your PC.
I don't know how to influence the VFO B display behavior.
Merry Xmas!

Hi
Thanks to tips from several people of the list this problem was solved.
It turns out that a scope showed there was a 300 mv audio signal on line
in.
Line in was not selected and I don't understand how it got to the mic
input. Bleed through? I normally use line in for PSK in the data A mode.
Please ignore this. I found a 300 mv SDR audio signal on line in.
I don't understand how it got into the mic input-- it's only selected
that way for DATA A. I thought the mike/line in inputs were isolated
from one another.
Guess not. Removing the line-in signal solved the problem.

Good point Eric. You demonstate how much personal interests affect how a rig
might be rated.
Compared to what a DX-40 has to offer the antique enthusiast, all of the
rigs on Doug's list don't even make the list, Hi!

Perfect for field day with the generator hammering away outside the tent. You

Brian,
Check in SSB mode to see if MIC + LINE has been inadvertently turned on.

The Radiosport RS 20 headphones are the way to go. They're not cheap,
but they really do the job. They have NO electronic circuitry to give
RFI problems, just 24 dB of noise reduction due to their excellent
acoustic isolation. When I have them on with any receiver audio at all

Interesting stats, Doug. I expected the KX3 to be right up there near the top,
too, but then I realized it has only 99 reviews. Just missed The Cutoff :)
eHam is a highly approximate metric for radio quality. But I do read every
review, since they're are often posted by customers who aren't
From your perspective Wayne, i'd read them all too. From my perspective as
just a ham, I've pretty much given up on eHam reviews. Like me trying to
