I performed the mod tonight. Less than a couple of minutes. No noise. I am on a very early board and found it to be absolutely quiet with no antenna. Way to go Wayne and CO!!!

Most have found that the mod successfully eliminated the noise or knocked it down to insignificant levels on all bands. A few have found that it helped only on some bands, or not as much as expected. This could be because the noise was already near the lowest level obtainable with the modification. In any event, the firmware noise-reduction methods mentioned in the document may still be required on some bands, on some KX3s. In answer to a couple of questions we've received: The modification done at the factory, and the easier field-modification described in the document, are absolutely identical in effect. We tested both methods on numerous KX3s. In addition to the hardware modification, we're continuing to experiment with improvements to the VFO NR algorithm available in the menu. Any such improvements will be available via a future firmware update. 73, Wayne N6KR __._,_.___ <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJyMTBpZjRuBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE 0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARtc2dJZAMzMTczNARzZWMDZnRyBHN sawNycGx5BHN0aW1lAzEzNzM0MDg1MjQ-?act=reply&messageNum=31734> Reply via web post <mailto:n...@elecraft.com?subject=Re%3A%20Regarding%20the%20KX3%20VFO%20tuni ng%20noise%20modification> Reply to sender <mailto:k...@yahoogroups.com?subject=Re%3A%20Regarding%20the%20KX3%20VFO%20tu ning%20noise%20modification> Reply to group <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJmMHM1OWE0BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE 0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNudHBjBHN0aW1 lAzEzNzM0MDg1MjQ-> Start a New Topic <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/message/31734;_ylc=X3oDMTM3aG5zY3V2BF9TAz k3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARtc2dJZAMzMTczNARzZW MDZnRyBHNsawN2dHBjBHN0aW1lAzEzNzM0MDg1MjQEdHBjSWQDMzE3MzQ-> Messages in this topic (1) Recent Activity: . <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJnZWR2OG5qBF9TAzk3MzU5 NzE0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2bWJycwRz dGltZQMxMzczNDA4NTI0?o=6> New Members 25 . <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3/files;_ylc=X3oDMTJoZGR0cmcxBF9TAzk3MzU5Nz E0BGdycElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2ZmlsZXMEc3 RpbWUDMTM3MzQwODUyNA--> New Files 2 <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/KX3;_ylc=X3oDMTJmZGIxZm9nBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdy cElkAzc0NTIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDdnRsBHNsawN2Z2hwBHN0aW1lAzEz NzM0MDg1MjQ-> Visit Your Group <http://groups.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTJlbDk3Y3UyBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzc0N TIwOTQ3BGdycHNwSWQDMTcwNTA2MzEwOARzZWMDZnRyBHNsawNnZnAEc3RpbWUDMTM3MzQwODUyN A--> Yahoo!
