Thanks, that kind of worked. The issue only occurs now if I repeatedly pole the
communications test on the K3 utility. I haven't gotten any further issues with
IE9 though.
Probably still some issue, but at least the utility works the first few times.
I'll continue looking into this.

Hello Fred,
During the time when your reception is OFF, would be the best time to check
whether or not the LO is working, i.e. during the time when the fault
exists. It would also be the best time to check whether the LO's output is
reaching the mixers if the LO is working.

The LO is not working Geoffrey. I would like to have it back on, so I could
check in both situations. However, when I first got the radio I remember
hearing a strong signal from the LO in my main transceiver's receiver. Now
it is not the case.
I have been well supported by Elecraft and it is

When will you come up with an replacement?
An all solder kit like the K2 but wiith newer techology? :-)
Also, an cross between the KX1 and KX3, named of course KX2 with all solder

Iain,
The mod you referenced below is a very old one (470 ohm resistors on
the KIO3). It has been in production for a long time.
The mod I was talking about is newer (2010, I believe). It involves a
pair of very small-valued resistors in series with the AF output
coupling capacitors. This,
Has anyone measured or know the AF output impedance or that of the internal
stock speaker at sidetone freqs? I'm still looking for an external speaker
that can match or better the efficency of the stock one at 700Hz sidetone with
60 deg. deflector. Ditto with headphones.

Wayne,
Do you mean the 470 ohm resistors added to the KIO3 Board? If
so, both radios had this mod done well before the speaker amps
blew.

Up through last weekend I had been operating my K3 #820 with MCU 4.31 and DSP

It's my understanding that the KX3 will sense the input voltage and
adjust power output correspondingly.
That is, if I'm using internal NiMH batteries, power output will be limited
to 5 Watts, and if I'm powering the
KX3 from a 13.8 Volt source, power output will be allowed to go all the way
That's the way my KX3 #6 works too. It's what I'd expect.
