I was using a friends KX3/PX3 to operate 6M in the ARRL VHF Contest this weekend. (We were W6ZZZ on Mt Diablo near the San Francisco Bay.) I found a couple of things which others may find useful.

(1) iPhone earbuds work as headphones.

(2) If you have a PX3 with old firmware, the best way to tune to a signal on the PX3 is to listen to another signal on VFO A, run in Dual Watch mode (see above), and tune the signal on VFO B. Swapping VFOs will let you respond on the new frequency.

The contest was great fun, even without any 6M openings. Everyone on the air was friendly and cooperative -- even pointing out where unrelated stations could find each other.
