Hi Jim,
Since the bypass relay actuates, can you check the
KPA3 (or KPA3A, depending on which generation
of K3 you have) input side of the relay to verify
that the relay is doing its job, i.e. that RF is making
it onto the KPA3 input? A scope is best,
but a simple RF probe and DMM would also suff
My K3 has stopped working in high power. It works fine until output hits 12
watts. I hear the relay kicking in at that point to switch the K3 PA bypass
relay to the KPA100 module, but power goes to 0 and swr fluctuates all over
the place. The amp breaker does not appear to have been tripped.
I've sold my KX3.

Hello Paul,
The tuner in my KX3 used to give me a nice 1:1 SWR at
7.05 MHZ. Now the best match it will give there is about 1.6:1. In the "old days" we
were happy with anything under 2:1 but can new rigs like my KX3 tolerate this poorer
match? I only run 5-watts CW.
The KX3 should tolerate

My HyGain AV-640 vertical antenna was damaged in a recent winter storm
and will need to come down for repairs once the good weather is here to
stay and I can get around to it. In the mean time I would still like to
use it. The only band that really shows a significant problem is
40-meters. T
I didn't find a simple way.
Assuming you have the remoterig set up for SSB/voice, what I did was to
route the soundcard TX audio to the mic input on the radio RR. To do
that I used an old Rigblaster, which allowed me to easily switch the AF
input to the RR between mic and soundcard. There are
