[Elecraft] KX3 wattage

Hi all! While having a QSO yesterday from my mobile to a QRP station on 20 meters, the gentleman I was chatting with mentioned that the KX3 now does up to 20 watts of power. Never heard this before and wondering if it's true, currently my KX3 does up to 15 watts. I use my KX3 mostly for

About 12 years ago we had a carbon monoxide detector in the upstairs hallway not far from the shack. Every time I was on a 2m net (could have been 6m, I forget...)the detector would start chirping, I even lowered power from 65 to 25 watts, same issue. Eventually the thing wouldn’t stop chirping

Some antennas work great in some places and not so in others depending on ground conditions, from personal experience in granite filled Maine. 73 de Jose Douglas KB1TCD Sent from my iPad > On Aug 4, 2020, at 5:00 AM, K8TE wrote: > > Kevin is on to something when he compares antennas

I prefer to use resonant antennas, either single or multi band and not use a tuner, however, I have encountered that even resonant antennas are not always so due to ground conditions, Case in point, two weeks ago we hiked to the summit of Sentinel Mountain in Baxter State Park. I carried my

From my experience, some of the CM-500s have an electret mic and others a dynamic mic. I don’t know if its an age factor. I use mine with my YAESU FT-897 and with my Kenwood TS-480, don’t have the adapter at this point to use with the KX3...Pretty good for an in-expensive boom mic. 73 de Jose
