Hi. I'm seeing strangeness between the command values used to set the AF Gain, and what is returned when you query it, even using the KX3 utility software (v1.2.12.21) The front panel control range is 0 to 60.  The values returned when querying the radio follow that just fine as you query it

A suggestion that I would like to see implemented: An option in the CW Key menu of None, so one could use a 3.5mm mono plug, ignoring the short to ground across what would be the ring in a stereo plug. 73 - Jim K8MR In a message dated 1/9/2013 5:53:39 P.M. Eastern Standard

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] Firmware suggestions.

One thing I miss in my Elecraft Transceivers from my IC-7000 days. I miss the end of band notification. Especially in the KX3 when operating it portable or mobile. Not as critical in the K3 but would be a nice feature in both K3 and KX3 for sight impaired or sightless hams or old guys like me

[Elecraft] KX3 firmware update may unblock 5MHz ?

My KX3 is blocked on 5MHz to earn an approval of JA telecommunication office. Whenever I introduce the latest firmware into my KX3, I hope this block remains unchanged. Is it sure? Jun JI1TLL,

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 firmware: Vers 1.12

This feature was added to the KX3 [...] - Great feature, particularly when one is on the DX-side and facing a pile-up, as I happened today. Now, no need to ask for leaving the RIT free when VFO is locked, as I had asked before. BTW the filter is fantastic (not the APF, although it can help when

[Elecraft] KX3 firmware: Vers 1.12

I notice that if you have the RIT on and then hit spot that only the rcvr goes to zero beat; while my K3 with the RIT on and spot is used moves both transmit and rcvr frequencies. Is this a bug or intended? Bill, VA3OL __ Elecraft

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 firmware: Vers 1.12

This feature was added to the KX3 but not the K3 (yet). It's on my list. 73, Wayne N6KR On Aug 15, 2012, at 9:49 AM, bill.va...@gmail.com wrote: I notice that if you have the RIT on and then hit spot that only the rcvr goes to zero beat; while my K3 with the RIT on and spot is used

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 firmware: Vers 1.12

That is a brilliant and intuitive feature, look forward to seeing it on the K3 as well! In the normal scenario when calling CQ and you get an off-center response, you've had to adjust RIT manually if you wanted to keep your calling frequency (or alternatively, tap A-B, then SPOT, then engage

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 firmware: Vers 1.12

Bill . . . You will also notice that if you have the VFO locked, the RIT is also automatically locked which defeats the whole idea of RIT which is to allow receiver excursions without changing the transmit frequency. I pointed this out to Wayne last week who expressed surprise that it hadn't

Sharp eyes, guys. I added this in rev 1.06 for my use in verifying that the power-down sequence worked correctly. No functional impact. Wayne JP O'Connor wrote: The asterisks are new. I don't remember which version (after 0.99 up through 1.06) had that change. va3...@gmail.com wrote:
