I have a KX3/PX3 shack at home, and rarely, if ever, take my KX3 into the field. (I know, it's a field rig, but it's also pretty darned 'spensive!) I have lots of other rigs for field use, some of which I built. For me, that's half the fun. But I ADORE my KX3 at home. Because of my particular

I recently bought a CM-500 from B Photo (a recommended vendor). They were advertising it as having a dynamic microphone, but that was wrong. The CM-500 still has, as it always has had, an electret microphone, which is well supported by the KX3 (and many other Elecraft radios. It even comes with

Has anyone else seen the kind of gain jumping on 160 shown here? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjfksHwLz9w The exciter is a K3, and I generated the drive signal by putting it into TUNE mode. The KPA1500 is feeding directly into a dummy load, so the antenna, etc. is not the cause. I believe I

Don't forget to power-cycle the radio after changing to "PA nor". (any option that is installed and recognized at power-on must have a power cycle when you change it's install status). Keith WE6R K3/K4 Tech Apparently the 100 Watt PA has been disabled. Go to "Config" (Press and hold MENU),

I’m not an audio expert, but I’d probably get a simple voice-oriented mic, maybe an Electro-Voice 635A. If you need a preamp, the Rolls MP13 Mini-Mic looks like a good match. It is a single-channel mic preamp with an unbalanced output. You would need some sort of adapter cable to go from either

Hi Morgan, I appreciate your opinion and I agree on the crowded band comment. If you read my message I did say we only use ESSB when band conditions allow. In the extra SSB portion on 80 meters there is enough elbow room. Using ESSB vs AM uses less bandwidth but allows for very comfortable

Operating manuals for the KX2 and KX3 provide no process for determining ATU L, C, and network configuration from ATU.DATA or ATU MD functions.   The ATU.DATA section in the KX2 and KX3 manuals should be revised to provide quick determination of ATU L, C, and configuration.   Mike / KK5F

ESSB---Folks, if you want to be a broadcaster with high fidelity, then use AM. SSB is for COMMUNICATION of information and as such making it a fidelity race will occupy more bandwidth than is necessary to communicate. The bands are already crowded, Imagine everyone one in a contest with 1500 watts
