I'm using a feed off the KXV3A's Rx in and Rx out ports, as you say, to feed a shortwave receiver. It's very simple with no splitter, just a BNC Tee connector. The K3 needs to be switched to a band which is higher than the external receiver for it to work as RF is routed through the K3's output f

Cool. I have an external MFJ I can use. I just don't have the cash for it all. Just the 100w rig and sub RX is $3250 and I've already paid $80 or so for the 400hz filter from the reflector.. If I had the cash I'd buy the full setup stuffed with filters..etc.. The current plan for 160 is probably

The power reduction you see is sometimes called folding and is done to protect the final transistors. An assessment of the antennas you have or contemplate with their SWR curves, and whether you will be operating barefoot or not should tell you whether tuning will be required. Some will want to ha

I've noticed with my K3S when operating with a SWR of greater than 2.5 : 1 the power output does take a dive downward. While I use an external tuner, it would make sense to have and use the internal ATU in certain applications. While resonant antennas are best, I operate 160M and 80M and due

I haven't specifically used the KXPA100 with K3/K3S, but I've use it with a K2, and it works FB. It should work equally well with a K3/K3S. One issue is that when you change bands, you need to give the KXPA100 a squirt of RF so it can switch in the appropriate BPF (and recall the appropriate tun

With my KX3, I normally use AFSK with a SignaLink USB; however, I occasionally use the KXPD3 to work DX. I've always been under the impression that I could only send RTTY using the KXPD3 and not with my external paddle [HOOKED TO A WinKeyer USB]. I finally read the manual (again!!!) and real

Am interested if anyone has used a KXPA100 with a K3/10 or K3S/10. For those who own a KX3/KXPA100 combination, one home station option (final or upgrade step) would appear to be to buy a 10 Watt K3S and use their KXPA100. Thoughts? Robert E. Lee (Bob) K8RL __
