Well it started out troubleshooting why I had bad SWR with the new 20m
dipole I put up. And (of course) it was the RG-58 coax jumper I had
used for umpteen years without trouble. So realizing that my broken
tri-band yagi might not be broken, I tried 20m and it tuned up nice with

For the first half I used a KX2 at 10 watts, with a couple of

Hi to the group
I have run a program called 73 on my IPAD for several years but now the
author has died and Apple has updated the IPAD operating system and the
program will not run. I operated entirely battery with solar charging
and for several years was able to run the I3S, P3 and the IPAD
I've discovered that my VPWR voltage is high (4.90 V). I don't see
anything wrong with the RF Detector circuit. The signal on D9 is only 84
mV when measured with the RF Probe. So I pressed forward with signal
tracing. It appears I have an RF signal at the Transmit Mixer (0.274 V)
and Buffer
Not an inappropriate question at all, Rich. For lots of electronic devices it
does matter. The penalty for yanking some plugs could even be, in the older
argot, the Blue Screen of Death.

Rich,
In the case of the K2, it makes no difference if you 'pull the plug' or
use the power switch.
That same thing does not apply to the K3, KX3 or KX2 - you must power
down properly because there are things saved during the power off cycle.
In the case of the K2, the VFO frequency is not
Dumb question, and I’m no K2 expert — but did you use the power switch to power
down, or just remove power from the input line?I heard that doing it by
jerking the rug out from under the supply is a Bad Thing.

Counting to ten is good advice in many situations. Thanks, Don; I'll try that
and see what happens.

Ted,
Try 'counting to ten' before powering down.
If you move the VFO just before powering down, the VFO frequency may not
have been written to EEPROM yet, the process is not immediate.

I’ve never done this myself, but my understanding is that CI-V is a multipoint
protocol. I have an Icom CT-17 level shifter into four concurrent CI-V lines
that are just paralleled, all at the same baud rate. You can do this less
expensively with a few 3.5mm sockets wired in parallel. See the

I have been kicking around the idea of purchasing a KPA1500. In doing my due
diligence, I've stumbled upon a dilemma. It appears the KPA1500 will track
bands for ICOM using CI-V. I am currently using CI-V to auto switch antennas,
so that ties up the radio's CI-V port. The antenna box
I am selling my fully equipped KX3 / PX3 / KXPA100 station simply because I
have too many radios.
All of the gear looks and functions as new. The KX3 has every option except the

has been used less than ten hours
