I recently built a PX3 and was going through some of the learning process. I was changing FixTrack and FixMode settings and I am not sure what I did, but in either FixTrack setting, the signals seemed to converge from both directions to the cursor, and when they did, I was tuned to a CW signal.

I have a KX3 and a PX3. The KX3 has all the options including the KX3-2M 2 meter transverter. I have not used the transverter a lot because I have been preoccupied using the KX3 on HF. Anyway, when I began using the PX3, I swear that it displayed the signals received on 2 meters, but now it

I just purchased a PX3 for my KX3 and KPA100 for my cottage in Canada. I connected it as per instructions and it works well. I have one issue, when I change bands on the KX3 the display on the PX3 flickers when the band is tuned. The only way to stop the flickering is to cycle the PX3 off

Nice idea, but mounting the PX3 behind the KX3 as one unit would impact the cooling. -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/PX3-question-tp7595745p7595751.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

As others have said, the IQ connecting cable is very short. Although you can place the PX3 to the left of the KX3, it ends up as quite a long pair, especially if any of your KX3 connectors are straight instead of right-angle. I've found it both neater and more ergonomic to place the PX3 just above
