I have a macro which, while configuring my K3S for FT8 operation, sets BW
to 4.0 kHz.the 6.0 kHz roofing filter is (apparently) automatically
selected and I do not actually realize 4-ish kHz BW until I manually select
the 13 kHz roofing filter.
It seems from the Programmer's reference that
Band was not in good shape.
My apologies to the net for the late start.
Thanks to those acting as relay stations.

Good Evening,
Conditions approached poor from worse. However, I was able to work a
few of you, especially on 20 meters. Forty meters seemed barren. RBN
did report my signal in Central Canada. Thankfully, propagation reports
mirror my own. One of these days propagation has to improve,

Hi all, The encoder on the KX2 is turning very roughly. I suspect it got hit
and is broken inside. I understand it is a standard part. I am hesitant to take
the radio apart without some kind of roadmap. Any help on disassembly to get to
the encoder?
Thanks, Doug

Once again Windows 10 has wiped out my sound settings.
I had renamed the ports as K3s for in/out and that has saved me for many
months. Now those names have been deleted in an update.
Can someone point me in the right direction to detect and rename the USB
ports please.
I swear Microsoft
My Goodness, something I am able to make a reasonable comment on in this forum:
“Drafting”.
In the early fifties I was put into high school a drafting class to fill out a

The link in the email you sent is similar to what I did. It did not work with
the original LCD. Putting a white sheet behind the original LCD did nothing
as it was opaque. I had to get a transreflective one, the key here is it's
translucent to permit back-lighting. It was long ago and I
My K3 has a SWR display next to the RF Power meter in the Display.
So it Sounds like the K4 Does Not have that type of Display ?

Hi,
I have an almost mint KX1, (recently back from service and checkup, with
paperwork indicating all is well with the unit, and it meeting specs),
which I am looking to trade for a almost mint condition W2 Wattmeter,
with one HF 2K coupler, (DCHF-2000), and one VHF 200 W coupler,
Last week Monday I received K4 SN0110. The Brown Truck came at about 2 PM.
That morning I had checked into an 80M net using my trusty K3. For 8)M is use

Monday afternoon was a frenzy of setting up and using the new K4. Pretty easy
setup.

If you can't find a kit: I modded my K1 to illuminate the LCD back in '03,
before the mod kit was available. It's pretty easy to do (a white sticker, two
leds, and a resistor) and works very well, but it does require a
transreflective LCD in place of the original reflective one supplied back
The K4 shows all four TX bar graphs simultaneously: power, SWR, ALC, and
compression. In addition you can select numeric display of power, SWR, supply
voltage and current drain for the status area, which defaults to date/time.

I believe the SWR meter in the transceiver is at the input of the
internal tuner, not the output. Since it always reads close to 1:1 when
the tuner is engaged you may not notice if the antenna has a high SWR.
