I agree completely. The rig and logging software have very to do with the

My experience says to use 1800 RPM vs. the more common 3600 RPM generators.
They are less noisy, have half the wear-and-tear and almost one-half the fuel
consumption of the 3600 RPM models. We too live off-grid, and have for 25
years, counting on solar PV systems for our primary electrical

Good afternoon, Gentlemen -
I have been experiencing intermittent contact problems on my KX3 paddle for
weeks now. ( I have read all the experiences on the group, and tried those
suggestions.) Sometimes I would gain temporary relief from dis-assembly,
cleaning, reassembly, but the problem always
Shucks, fellers. All that does not add up.
WE can rationalize this any way we like, but the fact is, 5 of the 6

qualifying rounds.

perfect.

The cause of the problem is pretty well understood - the route to ground
is through the pivot pins, and their contact with the grounded pivot-pin

Hello Jim,
I was once a XV144 user. In my previous setup, I set the XV144 for the minimum
drive from K3. The output from KXVA3 can drive the XV144 to its full power.
In terms of power and frequency stability, which are the typical issues with
XV144, apart from installing the oven, the

Not really. It would very much effect those individual stations in the

three of four fairly large 'groups' of stations.
The other groups and the more widely spread stations would not be affected

With the XV144 jumpers set for 1 mW drive, the attenuator resistors are
bypassed, and the Q6 gain stage is in-line.
The attenuator resistors (and the Q6 amplifier) are put into line (or
out of line) with the plugging of JP3, JP4, JP5 and JP6. There is no
dynamic switching - the XV144
Hi
Is there a way to shorten the 'diddle at the end of an fsk transmission when
you are using the internal fsk decoder/encoder programmatically?
I know that in the k3 utility you can set the length of this but what if you
are not using the utility and writing you own code?
Thanks, Tom

IMHO the most of those participants who had to travel long way have chosen
the lightest out of the best radios. And K3 is unbeatable in that respect.
Unfortunately in WRTC2014, locations were much different and very often
that was the most important factor affecting the final standing.

Jim - I fitted an internal fan in my XV144. Look at the XV432 manual.
It means drilling a circle of holes in the PCB where the fan is fitted.
Also, make sure you have some vent holes in the top cover (Early XV144s
did not have them).

Propane, in a sealed tank under pressure, tends to have good shelf-life.
Gasoline, stored in a vented tank, tends to turn to varnish.
A tank of diesel will support bacteria growth, which clogs the filter
