Do you have the KX3 in « CW in SSB » mode? If you go to the CW WGHT menu, and
tap the « 1 » button, it will turn this feature on (SSB +CW) or off (SSB -CW).
Also check that you don’t have it in SPLIT mode (with other VFO in CW mode) —
you’ll see « SPLIT » on the screen if that is the case.

Hi All,
I cannot improve, or add much to, the excellent commentary provided by Jim
Brown and others. However, I can say that my experience tends to confirm
a lot these findings.
First, I originally had an R7 vertical ground mounted. Performance was
O.K., but certainly not very exciting.
Only when there is a direct connection to one of the hard coded SDRs, such as:
SDR-IQ, QS1R, Mercury or Perseus.
When you use a K3 with an SDR-IQ, for example, you will see a pan adaptor
display of up to 192 kHz, but CW Skimmer (setup as SoftRock-IF) will still be
limited to much less than 48

One can download the Sherwood list and save it to an EXCEL file. Then
sort it by your own choosing. The Sherwood list is presented on one
parameter only being dynamic range, narrow spaced. There's multiple
other parameters that make for a fine receiver.

Nonsense. The IMDDR3 of a conventional transceiver will improve
significantly if one turns on the attenuator. Reducing overall
input to the Flex series 6 to keep the level below the ADC limit
is no different than adding

That is not the Sherwood receiver list that everyone covets.
Taking this data the K3 would be about 11th or 12th on the list
with the stock 2.7hz filter.

Not in most cases, since turning on the attenuator significantly reduces the
MDS (sensitivity) of the RX. IMDDR3 is the difference between the input RX sig
levels that created the IMD and the MDS of the RX. It may increase IMDDR3
slightly, or even reduce it, depending on which RX stages go into

We're hoping to add the 200-Hz filter back to our product line as soon as
possible. Meanwhile, the 400-Hz and 250-Hz filters also do an excellent job.
As I've mentioned before, any radio with 2-kHz IMDDR3 numbers in the
100-dB-plus range is going to be a solid performer on the air. A dB here

No, and it's also from 2009, but that's not the point. The point is that
there isn't going to be much difference between the 250hz 8 pole filter
and the 200hz 5 pole filter. But think about your comment for a moment.
A stock K3 with no additional filters is that good enough to rank that
high.
Why are you talking about the Flex? I don't care where it is at on
Sherwood's list. I never plan to own one.
