Sorry if this has been asked before, but is it possible to turn off the
backlight while using the internal charger to charge the internal
batteries? The backlight is on by default.
It seem a waste having the backlight lit for several hours while
charging and it would be good for it to default to
The last backlight status is maintained during charging.
If the backlight was on it stays on.
If the backlight was off it stays off.
I have not found a other solution.

David,
If you are charging from mains power, why are you
concerned about the few milli-Amps the backlight
is consuming?

David,
The backlight follows the MenuBKLIGHT setting no matter what you are doing.
Just go to MenuBKLIGHT and select OFF. You can do this even while you are
charging. If you shut your KX3 off during charging, you can still restart the
KX3, go to MenuBKLIGHT, and then select OFF and
Hi all,
Many thanks to all who replied. I updated N1MM logger to the most recent
version, re-edited the macros in the manner described by K4MTX in his blog

There seems to be enough space in the connectors of the pseudo-serial
One of the N1MM+ developers solved a CW stutter problem today for one of
our users, which was caused by latency in a USB-to-serial adapter. The
solution was to make sure you're using an FTDI adapter, and go direct to
the manufacturer for the latest version of the driver.

Thanks Wayne, Bill and Willis for your replies.
I suppose the battery could be bad - but this has been a consistent problem
since I assembled the Unit back in March. Could’ve been a bad battery out of
the box I suppose.

Not that I can think of. The battery keeps it running when power is removed and
its not particularly voltage sensitive.
Swapping the crystal for the clock might change it a bit, but of course that
could also go in the wrong direction.

This is beginning to sound like the saying that the man with two
wristwatches never knows what time it is. Pick a 'time standard' that
is appropriate for you - Cellphone time or Atomic clock as your time for
skeds (those are quite accurate) as well as the time standard from WWV.

I have a couple of JAMECO kit 24 HR clocks with 1 7-segment red display.
They aren't WWVB-synched.

I'm feeling lucky (quite rare). My KX3 (just checked) was ~20s off my NTP
