[Elecraft] KX3 Anomaly

2013-08-09 Thread N4CW
I am having an unexpected response from my KX3 and wonder if it portends some failure: in CW mode, when I hold the CMP/PITCH button down I hear the tone, the display briefly reads 500 Hz, then displays HIGH CUR...this doesn't seem right. Comments, inspiration, whatever? Bert N4CW/K1IMI

Re: [Elecraft] Using SB 200 with KX-3

2013-02-07 Thread N4CW
Ken, Try driving your SB-200 with just 10-Watts output from your FT-897D. RF is rf, no matter the source for such purposes! It would help if you had an accurate Wattmeter to see the results! I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Bert, N4CW In a message dated 2/7/2013 11:56:53 A.M

[Elecraft] KX3 N1MM Error Message Refined

and found that it was set to CW mode. This is happening with the N1MM configuration set to SO1V... So the KX3 seems to be doing its thing okay; the problem appears in how all that information coming down the USB cable from the rig is being handled by the software. 73, Bert, N4CW
