For what it's worth, the R6000 is very different from the R8.

Hi,
I have been playing around with the dBV-Feature of my KX3 for some time. I
understood how to use it and that it measures a relative input level into
the AF stage of the KX3, but my question is if there is any kind of data
processing involved, in other words: the display is updated roughly

The DSP uses audio samples at a 12 kHz rate and performs a true RMS calculation
on the samples. The result is computed over the display update time (1
second?) the buffer flushed and the process repeated..

Of course. So what? They are different antennas.

Hi Lyle,
So I actually measure a quantity that is proportional to the energy (signal +
noise) that has been collected in the display update time, am I getting this
right?

Jim,
It's advisable to do the opposite sideband reduction procedure also
listed in the PX3 manual. What this buys you is the elimination of extra
bogus signals that show up on the PX3 display which are generated inside
the KX3. The
The Hy-Gain AV-640 is very similar, but appears to have a little more
top loading and is a bit shorter. It is also less expensive.
The Hy-Gain AV series verticals are electrically similar to the
Cushcraft equivalents. However, the Hy-Gain antennas seem to be less
mechanically robust and
RE Power cable:
Forgot to add: why don't you just put a fuse holder and a 1 amp fuse in
series with the power cable that came with the PX3?
The PX3 will draw considerably less current than 1 amp. Also mentioned in
the manual is that you need to make sure the voltage polarity of the cable
is
Hi Ralf,
Lyle explained how the dBV value is derived. It's a pretty useful
measurement.
One way to use it is to disable AGC, then measure different signal
levels. This makes dBV a linear measurement, up until the signal
level causes hardware AGC to activate.
Be cautious with your hearing
Hello all, I am trying to figure out why our P3 panadapter sometimes but not

width of the screen. These stripes are not related to RF frequency because if
I switch bands they remain in the same location. If I remain on
Various kinds of 'junk' on the screen have been reported to be caused by
coax jumpers with poor shield contact at one or both ends. Try another
cable if you haven't already.

When I use the KX3 RIT, I get a red 'transmit' cursor on the PX3 which is
great. However when I press the 'B' knob to reset the RIT to zero, the RIT
resets, but the red cursor remains on the PX3 until I slightly turn the 'B'
knob, then it disappears. Just turning the 'B' knob (without pressing it)

Hi Julie,
It almost sounds like you have the span set very narrow and what you are
seeing is the center frequency marker. What happens when you adjust the
span, does the green stripe change width? If you would, please take a
screen shot of the display using the P3 Utility and email it to me.
Hi John,
I just verified this on my unit here at Elecraft. Thanks, it looks like you
found a bug between the KX3 and PX3. I think the KX3 is probably not
telling the PX3 that the RIT was cleared.
Kind regards,
Paul

They will be as long as MFJ leaves them as separate operations and
builds the same antennas.
When they start reducing redundancy and merging the engineering groups,
they'll become more similar until the only difference is branding.

Friends,
I am a MFJ fan but would not reckon HyGain or Cush-Craft employ
engineers these days. There has not been a new product from either of
these makes in many years.I am still glad though that the likes of my
first commercial antenna a 14 AVS now 14 AVQ is available.The Hy-Gain
I have noticed that signals on 40 meters do not appear very strong on my
K3. The audio and signal strength is very low. Other hams in the area
hear signals S9 +5 while these only register S1 at best on the K3.
Antenna type and height are almost identical as I have.

Gene,
Do you have the correct antenna input selected? ANT1/2 if the KAT3 is
installed, or RX ANT if the KXV3 is installed. It sounds like you may
have the RX ANT selected rather than the main antenna. That is a
per-band setting, so it would only be a problem on one band.

Problems solved. I had RX on by mistake and only on 40.
Thanks to all that responded.

I am thinking of adding a coiled coax common-mode choke to my system.
Presently it goes K3-KPA500-KAT500 then 100 ft coax to the base of an

up the pole to a 1:1 balun feeding a fanned 10-15-20 Vee. The idea, for a

A choke in the middle of the transmission line could help, but the usual
configuration is a current balun at the antenna to reject common-mode signals
at the source, plus an optional choke at the entrance to the shack to reject
noise picked up by the outside of the coax shield.

Although it's all over the literature, a coil of coax is NOT an
