Re: [Elecraft] KX3 2M transverter

Yes, Steve, all modes supported by the KX3 are usable on all bands, including those using either internal or external transverters. I am using my KX3 now primarily as the I/f for my 10GHz rig and have used it on multiple modes including CW, SSB, FM, AM, and digital. Chris Cox, N0UK chr

Re: [Elecraft] Oh Crap

I have suffered the very same failure but on my K3. Despite extensive attempts on my part, removing the dislodged tip has proven futile and it appears that the female jack will need to be replaced. Removing it might help but it’s just too finicky for me. Chris Cox, N0UK chr...@chris.org

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 FW - N0UK tx inhibit & CW sidetone bug reproduced

Still hoping for some resolution to this problem since it’s now been a year since it was reported to and acknowledged by Elecraft as being a firmware bug. It really renders the KX3 as fairly useless as an I/F rig for microwave transverters if you need the TxInhibit function. Chris Cox, N0UK

The transceive problem didn't seem to exist on any older non-synthesized transceiver that I have used, including FT-101 series, TS-520/820 and later, KW Electronics KW-2000E. these were all '70s era transceivers. -- 73 Chris Cox, N0UK, G4JEC chr...@chris.org
