Good luck with the KDVR3, Deni. It works very well, but IMHO David is right - it would be a great convenience to be able *automatically* to hear a recording that is being transmitted. Wayne's response is eagerly awaited here! 73 to all Geoff G3UCK - Original Message - From: Deni

Susan, I was using a heavy-duty (#10) power cord with power-pole connectors with my K3 and the weight of the wire would pull the connector loose. One of the connectors was pulled off the wire (which was crimped by the mfr and not soldered) so it is in my to be repaired bin and I made a

I only have two power-pole connected radios (K3 and FT-817). I just tested the resistance to separating the mated connectors and it sure doesn't take much to disconnect them (certainly could not support the weight of the radio). They are either commercially built cables or ones that I

power-poles do not offer sufficient resistance to disconnecting in my opinion. The professional made cable is plugged into the factory installed connector on the back of the K3. They come apart (disconnect) if I move the radio. I use a small tie wrap that goes through the roll pin holes in

Thanks Don, I go back and forth between the internal and external batteries, so I'm not crazy about this as the stated life is limited for the potentiometer. Having said that, I dialed it back to get 4 watts into a dummy load and very weak power on internal batteries. Here's the strange part,

Jim, On the power issue, maybe you want to reduce the voltage when you operate at home and keep R4 set to maximum for the sake of the internal battery operation. A couple diodes in series with the power supply should cut the voltage a bit and keep the KX1 out of the danger zone. On your

Hi John, The VOX setting for CW is saved, as is the VOX setting for voice/AF data modes. These are separate. You can make CW VOX default to OFF on power-up using the CW WGHT menu entry. Tap 4 to select VOX NOR or AUTO OFF. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jul 26, 2010, at 4:35 PM, John E. Reiser wrote:
