Hello,
I have a K3, and a P3. I have both, and a question regarding S meter
readings on each.
Using the P3, in peak hold mode, I see the highest peak at S6, while at
the same time I see a steady S8 to S9 on the K3 itself.
I assume that the two ought to match, or at least be close... Is this
I would be surprised if someone has not asked this question, but as an avid QRP
JT65 operator -- would it be possible/practical to add a (somewhat) tailored
JT-65 mode to the PX3's configuration?
Also, getting the JT-65 output levels set optimal is a challenge -- could this
also be made visual
Anyone have an XG-3 they are willing to sell? If so, please write off
list.

Sorry for off topic. Been researching some radio history. Did old time ship
spark gap transmitters have high voltage on the key itself? From what I can
tell it looks like they used a battery to the key and then made high voltage in
spark coil or induction coil? I'm assuming this would of
Hello Elecraft, I know others have asked the same question, but I am going to
ask it again. First, I am a dedicated Elecraft user with a K3, P3, KPA500 and a
KX1. My K3 is pretty well loaded up, and I tell everyone that is the finest ham
radio gear I have used in 50+ years of hamming.

I have no recent experience with any of the digital modes, but I can tell
you, the only time I even LOOK at the P3 is when I want to hit one of it's
control buttons. Personally, I never wanted the P3 to even HAVE a display.
My preference was for it to require external monitor. I watch a old
My two-bits...
I agree, a separate SVGA display, with its higher resolution, and of course the
added features over the P3 is the better solution.
Unfortunately, I think there are many who are like me who do not want yet
another big display in the shack. In my case, I have no room for one and
I just got a KXPA100 yesterday. It seems to work as specified except
that above 10 watts of power, the KX3 display randomly {like in not all
the time} shows two dashes instead of the SWR.
I do not have the internal tuner option. I am using my SGC237

Years ago I was active on satellites with either my FT-847

subsequently sold both in favor of the K3 and KX3, respectively.
Of course the K3 will not support duplex operation (only one DSP

Hi all,
CW on 2m is a problem. Especially with speeds higher than 25 wpm the
timing of the sidetone becomes very unregular (eg. continues keying of
dots only). With an external keyer the problem seems to be even worse.
QRQ CW sounds very dirty.
CW on HF bands is perfect.
Any others who can

Hi Istán,
According to the website they do ship overseas, I will probably be seeing an
RSGB officer tonight at our club so will enquire on your behalf.

Sorry all. I withdraw my previous comment.
I didnt scroll down far enough and just noticed the small print at the
bottom of the page. My apologies. In the past they used to as I have ordered
books before for overseas delivery.

Above 10W of power, the KX3 will disable the internal KXAT3 ATU and rely on the
amplifier to supply the SWR readings over the ACC1 cable. However, the SWR
bridge for the amplifier is part of the KXAT100 ATU option for the amplifier,
so if this option is not equipped, the amplifier will not be
Sorry Matt, this isn't quite right.
The KXPA100's SWR bridge is on its LPF board, and is part of all KXPA100's,
with or without the KXAT100 Antenna Tuner Option.
The KX3 currently doesn't display the KXPA100's SWR, it instead displays the
KX3 SWR measurement.

Thanks Dick, that's good to know. It makes sense to include an SWR bridge in
the basic amplifier, because then you can provide protection against antenna
faults and other high SWR conditions.

Sorry Matt,
Stan,
That indication is normal when the power level is too low for a valid
SWR computation.
The KX3 SWR indication is used below 10 watts, but the KXPA100
indication is used above that level.
It should go away if you increase (or decrease) the power a bit. It

I sent ARRL's Publications/Store an e-mail concerning availability

I must say that the level of integration between the KX3 and the KXPA100

Sorry Paul, no answer to your problem with CW (not yet tried).
On my side, I am a bit disappointed with my KX3-2m because of low TX
output (2W instead of 3 announced) and lot of birdies on dummy load in
RX mode. When using an external antenna, noise level increases and some
birdies disappear
On CW they should match but not on SSB. The explanation is in the
Owner's Manual in the How to Set Up and Interpret the P3 Display
section under Spectrum Display, second column.

Just tried 2m CW using a begali paddle plugged in to the KX3 internal keyer,
the CW sounds fine to me (up to 30wpm at least, unfortunately that's about as
fast as I can go). I'm wondering if you might be having some sort of RF
feedback issue? What sort of antenna setup do you have?

Hi,
I've noticed PSK31 decoding seems to be rather hit or miss on my KX3/PX3
combo. I'm wondering if I am tuning properly. Should I be tuning on the PX3
so that the frequency tuned is on the center of the PSK31 stream on the
waterfall? Or something else? Auto spotting doesn't seem to help a lot.
