G'day All,
I agree...hearing loss is inevitable they tell mebut then I already had

That figures, this birdie gets to the point of entry into the signal path
via two birth routes, so it is not surprising that the strength of this

is the PLL refernce oscillator which is 'heard' by the 2LO - IF spurious

I worked for a few hours during the NAQP RTTY contest this weekend and ran
into a strange issue. On 15 and 20 I get full power out while running RTTY
on the K3. On 40 and 80 I am limited to about 20 watts.
I am running versions 2.02/1.77 of the firmware. I normally run in 'Data A'
mode but
John there is an apparent bug in some firmware (I am using 2.15/1.84
which suffers from it) where you cannot increase the power level while
transmitting in DATA A, could you have fallen foul of that? My K3 gives
up to 100 Watts on 80/40 on DATA A with a RTTY tone input to the line
socket -

I got in NAQP RTTY late for an hour or so last night. Only used 20, 40
80M and the power was 100 watts out the whole time - at least when I looked
at the wattmeter!
I did watch the PA Temp, after I heard the fans speed up, which made it into
the mid 40's C.
The only problem was the AF Gain
I have tested this interface to add a Keyboard for IC-756 pro line and is
working well.
I think that can be used for K3 too. This interface can be used to generate
CW or RTTY, on K3 can traslate CW to PSK31 too.
Schematic is minimal, also LCD can be removed, so only a programmed PIC (
.hex
How detrimental would it be if I broke up the power cable going to my K3
into two segments, joined by a two pair of Anderson power poles? Is
this sheer stupidity on my part? (It would be convenient for me to do
this, but not if it introduces more problems than it solves).
Thanks in advance for
If you used #10 wire .
Check out the July 2008 CQ magazine, page 74, the Beginners Corner column.
There is a very good write-up on page 79 on how to do this.
I suppose you could use #12 wire if your current requirements were lower on
each leg.

Of course, if you are driving a device that needs more audio than the

If I understand your problem correctly, check to be certain the KX1 is
transmitting on the frequency that you believe it is. If it is
attempting to transmit well out of the band indicated on the dial, that
would explain your high SWR readings. A dummy load will indicate an

I'm aware when tuning down a band on receive that there is a short break in

I noticed this alsobut I found that is was an antenna issue...or more so a
coax issue. I changed out some coax and the issue went away for the most part,
but I notice that since I put in the last upgrade (2.02/1.77) things changed
for AFSK. I have to drive the K3 quite a bit harder than

Thank you all for the suggestions.
I still have the problem, but I have eliminated many of the variables. I
tested by transmitting to a dummy load. I am measuring full power out on 20
meters and above, but only about 20 watts out (18 as measured on my
wattmeter) on 30 meters and below.
Perhaps it's too esoteric, but it would be nice if there were a way to
disable the CW in SSB mode feature for 60m.

Personally I'd rather have the ability to do CW in SSB anywhere as it
turns out to be a good safety feature if ever need be. Granted cross

never know. Personally I feel that not disallowing TX outside of the
bands (or making
Isn't it ILLEGAL for any mode other than USB on 60? Other bands are legally
