end to end. That surprisingly long, hight loss length of wire is what all the
current has to pass through. Far from ideal for keeping the voltage and

I'm in a hotel in Westborough, MA.
I brought an EARC Hawaii end fed matchbox with its 30 feet of wire and fed the
wire out my first floor hotel window sill edge and spread it out over the
bushes in front of the hotel. It was maybe 30 above ground and 30 away from
the hotel building proper.
Good deal, Dick. I have the KX3 and that antenna
(which I have yet to deploy).
Only problem is that operating on the East Coast
will spoil you for trying to work Europe with
similar equipment from the West Coast. It's about
the same as working Mass on 20 m from California!

Use a better AA battery (3.7V 4.9AH Li-ion):

Use 4 of them for 14.8V.

The 3.7V rating is its voltage at about 50% state of charge. That type of
Li-ion cell has a fully charged voltage of 4.2V. Four of them would be too
much for a KX3.

The 4.2V is the maximum open circuit voltage. If you are that worried about
it only use 3 Li-ion batteries.
Adding a couple of 5A diodes in series is a viable option as well, plus it
adds the reverse voltage protection.

A while back we tried Remoterig with a Kenwood radio and the CW generated was
poor on the other end. This was presumably from dropped packets and or
latency issues (Comcast on one end and a terrestrial microwave connection on
the other end). Some dits/dahs were lost and others were prolonged,
Run pingtest.net and make sure you have a grade A rating. You don't need much
bandwidth as 1mbs in each direction is lots if you are the only user. However,
latency issues will cause problems.
As I understand it, the K3/remote uses a remoterig interface.
The problem may not be your ISP, but
I have discovered an issue with my K3, (ser 5820).
When using my Tigertronics Signalink USB device, the unit keys the rig fine,
but when the interface unkeys, transmission ceases, but red XMIT light stays
on and reception is muted. Like an indeterminate state.
I did the following:

Wow, I'm glad I found this post. I just completed building the control board
for my K2, and found the resistance on U6 pins 29 and 30 to be 96.4K. I
didn't really think it was an issue, but it is always nice to have someone
else confirm it. All other resistance checks were within specs.
What post? Your post makes no sense without a bit of reference material.
Sorry, but I subscribe to the Elecraft reflector and do not have time
for threaded conversations that might appear on nabble.
Please copy a bit of your referenced text in the future.

Dan,
That sounds more like a Signalink problem than a K3 problem.
Please monitor the voltage on the PTT input from the Signalink to the K3.
If the voltage when transmission is to stop is in the range of 3 volts,
that is the problem - that voltage is in the indeterminate range for the
typical
Sorry Don, I'm new to the the Reflector, and didn't mean to create a problem.
I figured since I was replying to a particular thread, it would all make
sense. I guess I was wrong. So hopefully, here is some reference material.
If I screw it up this time, just ignore everything, and I'll go away
Don,
If I'm not mistaking, all the signalink does is use a relay to ground out
the PTT line voltage, much as a foot switch would do. A logic high on the
PTT center pin would indicate a key up condition and should cause the rig to
return to receive state.
I could see where a flaky pull-up
Get the SideKX replacement endplates and matching cover. It is an awesome
