Don,
YAAAYYY!!!
The answer turned out to be very simple. I loosened all the chassis
screws in the assembly to date. which gave enough movement in the boards
particularly the RF board, to allow the screws fixing the Control Board
to be tightened easily. I then tightened all the remaining
I have K2 serial no 03885. I've recently finished building the KSB2 SSB
adapter, but I'm having problems getting it to work.
The problem is very low output power when I speak into the mic. I'm using
an Icom MK36 mic and I've set the P1 header as per the KSB2 manual;
including the resistor to get
Ken,
What fabulous news! I'm sure I'm with everyone else here wishing both
of you a speedy return to normalcy. Give her a big hug for us!

Just received my PX3 and see that the KX3 requires Firmware Version 2.19.
I have downloaded Utility KX3 1.14.4.11 and checked the software version in
the KX3. Results MCU 1.87, DSP 1.28 and tells me that these are the up to
date versions.
How do I get 2.19? The KX3 is standalone and not connected
Hi Mark,
Please use the latest beta-test firmware for both the PX3 and KX3. We're now up
to revisions 1.11 and 2.23, respectively. You can obtain these from our KX3 and
PX3 web pages.

Gareth,
During transmit you should have about 1.4 volts DC on pin 1 or the
balanced modulator U5.
I just measured the U5 pin 1 audio using a 'scope with a 10X probe and
found the peak to peak voltage ranged from 200 to 400 millivolts. If
you have a good microphone, you should see a similar

I have only ever had one issue with using my Mac on ELECRAFT files, and that
was when I failed to refresh the local caching.
I have quite routinely copied the zip files to my Mac desktop, and pointed
the KX3 or PX3 utility to those folders to install new firmware.

I want to build an external custom AA eneloop battery pack for my KX1's, but
was wondering if anyone had any experience on the optimal voltage would be.
Is higher always better for producing maximum output?

I had the same problem with safari, but as you spotted Firefox works fine.
However you don't want too use the check revisions now button with a beta -
that'll go to Elecraft for the latest release edition. Just send the firmware
to the KX3.
I hope this helps.
Cheers

Chris,
Yes, higher is better, but up to a limit. The maximum voltage for the
KX1 is 15 volts. If you can achieve a voltage between 14 volts and 15
volts, that would be ideal.

I'm getting more or less the same as you except for the RF out on U5 pin 4.
I'm seeing the BFO of about 400mV pp with no AF, and then going up to 800mV
pp when I whistle into the Mic.
Doh!
I thought I had the carrier balance right, but obviously not. Switching on
the SSBA=BAL shows a

Now that I have my KX-3, I’ve decided I don’t need my faithful old KX-1 (S/N
608) any more, so I’ve listed it on e-Bay. Has ATU, 30/80 module, and the N0SS
tuning indicator, home brew paddle. It’s item number 131309605698, if you or
anyone you know is interested.
Tnx and 73

Hi I noticed today that with the radio tuned to a frequency and the marker from
the p3 right on that frequency, the carrier appears shifted by around 50 Hz.
I. E. The peak is 50 Hz lower.
Is this just a resolution issue of the p3 or something else?
Thanks, Tom

This symptom makes me think of edge connector problems I have heard about. But
in my case there are no low voltage errors that seems to be the case in other
reports.
If I cycle the radio off and back on everything is good. I think this is the
third time this has happened, all in the last
Hi Jack,
I have had this exact problem. Turned out to be the connector between the
front panel and main pcb. Treatment with Deoxit has cured it.
BTW - I also had some other weird, seemingly unrelated, problems that would
occur randomly. The Deoxit treatment cured all of those as well.
