Michael,
There is no one answer. Does your KX3 operate in voice modes when using
the microphone? If so, there is not a likely problem with the KX3.
Investigate your computer sound card levels to assure that you have
adequate audio levels going to the KX3. You should drive the ALC meter
on
Not enough audio from the computer, not enough Mic Gain? Wrong sound
card selected in Fldigi?

Hi Andy,
The datasheet for the poly cap is shown here:

The cap can be ordered from Digikey as p/n 493-4026-1-ND, or as part
of the Elecraft KBPF3MDKT modification kit.
The cap fits comfortably below the KNB3 board on both main and
It does not compute to order the kit as the postage is too high and the

Gary,
Since you get no ALC bars when the fault occurs, the problem is either
in your Signalink or the audio input section of the KX3.
It could be as simple as an intermittent audio cable connection or a
fault in the audio wire.
If you have an audio amplifier available (like one of those used
While your test using a dummy load seem reasonable and correct, it would
appear as though you may have an excessive amount of Common Mode current
on the feed line, not being seen by the SWR indication in the radio. I
suggest a Common Mode choke on and at the output of the radio. Perhaps

several weeks and as I mentioned in another post I've recently had over

In addition to the items already mentioned, be sure that the plug on the
battery pack leads is fully engaged onto the pins on the circuit board. When I
first received my KX3, I had similar symptoms, and that was what the problem
was. (Not Elecraft's fault).
