Hi Folks,
In his posts here and in two or three that I have had with him off line, I
think Aaron needs to have a chat with Elecraft support, as Grant suggested. He

Your tests leave a couple questions - I could assume, but I would rather

Are you powering the KX3 from an external supply having at least a 13.8

After you connected the dummy load, did you do an ATU TUNE?
Is there any chance
The only time I have seen this SWR on my KX3 is when the internal batteries

That SWR normally indicates an open or shorted antenna connection. It

Yes. This ham-friendly company sells a wide range of LiFePO4 batteries.
Charge before you leave home (all Li batteries require a charger
designed for their specific chemistry, voltage, and capacity), connect

Go with LiFePO4 cells. Four cells will keep the voltage between 12 and 14.4
V from 10% to 100% state of charge and most of the time the voltage is
between 13 and 13.5 V. I use small ones (3 AH )for backpack portable

I have looked at the power issue (even though I'm not yet a KX3 owner) and with
NiMH cells at 1.2 V, the 8 cell internal battery holder would only be 9.6 V.
I'm considering an external battery pack with (2) 6 cell holders for 12 cells

Bottom line, the radio doesn’t care what your Fluke says, it uses its own

the radio was introduced with NiMH battery technology just as LiPO battery

Hi George,
KKX3 uses a series Schottky doide for reverse voltage protection. The
KX3 displays voltage after the diode.

I have a external TalentCell 12v Li-Ion 12800mAh Battery Pack that I have been
testing on my KX3. At the same connection point as the battery (KX3 9-15vdc
Power Input) I have my Fluke 177 multi-meter and a EB_M05 that I use to plot
the battery pack voltage discharge. I noticed that the Fluke

It’s possible an internal connector has become partially loose.
Maybe try resetting obvious internal cables.
The speaker sometimes cuts out on my KX2 after a battery change which seems to
be solved by re-jiggering things. Not very scientific but it might work.

Good Morning,
I would like some help or advice to solve
my KX3 speaker problem.
My problem is that the speaker is silent, headphones work ok, as a
workaround I am
using a powered speaker. Looking at the circuit for the audio output I
feel that the

Why must you turn them off ... I've not touched either, and have no
problems with digital modes. I also use a USB soundcard to keep
computer sounds separate.
In DATA A, the MIC button functions are disabled. And Fred Cady, KE7Z
(SK) in his KX3 book makes no mention of having to do anything
The Signalink USB has a monitor jack. Thus one can plug in headphones on the
back of the unit. And using a 0.1 cap in place of the internal jumper in the
unit eliminates the need to turn off bias.
Seems all of your concerns are resolved.

Yes, but you still must turn OFF bias and BTNS.
This arrangement works very well. I like to put a spitter in the phones jack
with one end to computer the other for ear buds so I can monitor the radio
audio. Elecraft still hasn’t added a feature to have phones plus speaker as in
the K-Line.
FWIW... you don't need a signalink to connect the KX3 for digital modes.
All you need is the KXUSB cable for CAT control (& PTT), and 3.5 cables
for the MIC and PHONO jackts to the Line out/speakers and line in on the
computer.
Very simple, and no having to worry about switching about jumpers
If you look at the jumper configuration in Fig 2 & 3 of the Signalink
USB documentation, you can insert the capacitor, in place of the
jumper, between the MIC pin on JP1 and the corresponding Mic Input
terminal on JP1. A 0.1 mfd 50 V disk ceramic should be very
adequate. That will block
The SLMODKX3 jumper module for using the Signalink USB with a KX3 or KX2,
has a DC blocking capacitor built in.
Can anyone tell me where it is in the circuit and a value? It eliminates
turning off the mike bias in the menu when using the Signalink USB. I am
just using jumpers and would like to
I recently started trying to use the CW decoder on my KX3 and am having
similar problems. There seem to be several variables that can affect
correct decoding.
You might try changing the RX threshold settings for the decoder. The
manual suggests RX THR3. Bandwidth may make a difference?
I
I don't use CW decode on my KX3 and I noticed that CWT doesn't work
correctly when decode is turned off. With decode on all is fine, but with
decode off the middle CWT bar is always lit. A strong off frequency signal
will sometimes move the CWT bar to the left or right but it is difficult to
use
Robie,
Either you have a KX3 problem or you are not tapping the knobs correctly.
Do you have the KX3 manual? If not, download it from the Elecraft
website and read through it. If you need more comprehensive and
detailed information along with exercises, you can order the Fred Cady
(SK)
All,
I have acquired a used KX3 (serial number between 4000 and 5000, uC
firmware 0.150, dsp firmware 01.21) and I am checking it out. The problem
I have encountered is no RX audio:
1. The AF/RF-SQL knob does not change either RF or AF gain. When I TAP the
knob I momentarily see 1 in the OFS/B
Thanks Hank.
