Dave,
Put a dummy load on the KX3 the next time you try that - it is going
into transmit.
You have nothing connected to ACC2 - no voltage, no closed circuit. That
means the voltage at ACC2 IO is LOw since there nothing applied to that
input inside the KX3 - it is just a floating input.
Glenn,
That voltage is very good, so rule that out.
There seems to be a lot of confusion in the ham community when dealing
with RF in the Shack - a very common response is my equipment is well
grounded That grounding may be fine for AC mains grounding, static
grounding, and perhaps even
Thanks to all who replied. If I did not have to cut a hole in the sheet

to a minimum speed as suggested and see how that works out keeping the

If you set fan speed to Level 1 in the first place, it will run
continuously and avoid wide temperature variations.
I can work pileups in RTTY at 500W and the fan goes into Level 2 on rare

How would that work Bob? Actually Peltier junctions do not create cold. They

and you end up with more heat than you started with. BTW you need a heat sink

You *can* just select RTTY (or CW) in Fldigi and operate just as you
would with PSK with the KX3 (or K3) in DATA A mode - you may have to
select REV (or INV) in Fldigi for RTTY since the rig is in USB and RTTY
normally uses LSB - CW will not care about the sideband selected.

will allow keyboard operation without a computer. Alternately, the K1EL

1) Would someone measure (quantify) the objectionable noise (using a sound
meter) and report their dB findings.
2) Determine a sound level (measurement) that is acceptable (based upon
normal ears).
Ok, but there's still another way of looking at it: the KXFL3
filter only improves the narrow-spaced dynamic range by 8dB.
Look at the Sherwood Eng. table:

*without* the KXFL3 the KX3 DRNS was measured at 96dB. That's the same as
