John N0HJ and Steve N0MHQ joined me Saturday afternoon on the deck of
our recently-purchased home in the mountains of Woodland Park, CO to
make a few FD contacts with my KX3. First time I've had the chance to
get on HF since last fall, thanks to all the activities associated with
selling one
Worked field day this year with my KX3 setup on 80 15 meters.
Nice to be able to operate CW Digital SSB simultaneously on the same band
with very small antenna separations.
Thanks Elecraft for the bata Fixed mode for the PX3, worked well, however I
would like to see an adjustment added that
I used the KX3 on 40 meter CW and PSK31 with Win4K3 software, DigiPan, an
HF Packer Amplifier and 40 meter Loop Skywire at the River City ARCS Field
Day in Rio Linda, CA.
The power source were 105 Ah of sealed lead acid batteries and 90 watt
solar panel.
Some photos are at
Both the KX3 and the IC-7000 have been sold. Thanks for playing :)

I, too, ran my KX3 for FD: 5 watts, battery power. From LAX I was able
to work both Hawaii and the East Coast. Amazing what 5 watts and CW can do.

Dear all,
my K3 (S/N 8862) is developing a strange behaviour that is beginning
to worry me a bit... Current firmware, assembled as kit, power
calibration just repeated to be sure.
First -- and this is not really new -- from time to time it produces
a smell that is best described as 'hot', like
possible issue in the Low Pass Filter

The 20 meter temperature increase sounds normal to me. The 10
MHz and 21 MHz behavior is a little strange. Here is a link to a
PA temp experiment that I conducted on both of my K3's:

Ted,
Just a couple of comments:
Our 2A station used a barefoot K3 throughout FD 2015. This one is a
newer unit (#7811) with recently-installed KSYN3As. We operated QRQ
100%, at around 25 WPM for 17 hours. I noticed the same improved
performance you did. I'd used an older K3 (#24) with new
In recent testing of a new Cloud-IQ SDR, I found the same thing at home.
Two tones about 500 Hz apart and reoccurring at about the same interval.
I used my KX3 to track it down to the 100BASE-T ethernet cables. The noise
floor on the SDR is 140 dB and was able to pick it up.

Hi Steve,
A clarification. #31 is the first weapon of choice for the HF bands --
it is effective from the AM broadcast
The usual K2 headphone jack failure results in the speaker going dead. To fix
it requires replacing the jack, but a workaround is to short two pads together.
The speaker will then run all the time, whether or not there are headphones
plugged into the front of the rig. The speaker can be cut

Two of us shared a K3 on CW. There were four other HF stations on digital
modes with very little antenna separation. We were never even aware that
the other stations existed in the same building. QRM was not a problem
unless multiple stations moved within a few Hertz of our receive
frequency.
