Re: [Elecraft] KXPA100 Mobile Operations -- Power Output

QSK when in CW for lower average current. The average current in SSB with KXPA100 is likely to be small as the average power in KX3 is small even with the processor. Ignacy, NO9E -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KXPA100-Mobile-Operations-Power-Output

Re: [Elecraft] OT - anyone have experience with effects of metal roofs on antenna performace?

I had verticals on concrete, roof shingle and metal roofs. Always radials lying on top. The metal roof was the best by far. One way to find out how much the roof is affecting the performance of a beam is to look at SWR changes as the antenna is rotating. Ignacy, NO9E -- View this message

[Elecraft] Is delay to transmit in KX3 adjustable?

I attached KX3 to TT Centurion. When in BK mode, KX3 indicates high SWR momentarily. Seems the delay is < 8 ms. Any way to change it aside from not using BK? Not really high priority issue. Top priority for me would be improving the speech processor to at least the level of K2. Ignacy, N
