[Elecraft] Battery Operation of KX3

2015-02-13 Thread w...@msn.com
I am using a Power Bank model MP-16000 Lithium Polymer battery to run the KX3. This appears to now be furnished by Maxtron as the MX160A power bank at $128 on Amazon. It is lightweight (1.1 lbs) and is about the size of a paperback book. Last night I ran the KX3 with backlight on for 3.5

[Elecraft] KX3 VFO leakage on antenna

2015-02-14 Thread w...@msn.com
Is anyone else experiencing leakage from the VFO via the antenna? I had my FT-2000 on and could hear the KX3 VFO as I tuned near the KX3 operating frequency on the FT-2000. They were on separate antennas about 40 feet apart. Varying the KX3 tuning knob varied the signal on the FT-2000. Ron

[Elecraft] BC-342 and 6L6

2015-03-10 Thread w...@msn.com
The comment about the BC342 brought back memories of my actual setup in 1968 right after I got my first license. I built the 6L6 transmitter myself, so can definitely relate. Now I have the KX3, and am seriously considering the amp for it to use in the fifth-wheel. This would make it more

[Elecraft] Atmospheric noise increases

2015-07-23 Thread w...@msn.com
Has anyone else noticed the dramatic increase in atmospheric noise lately? On 20M, 30M, and 40M especially, I see a wide-band noise source wandering back and forth across the bands. At times it almost looks like a sine wave on the waterfall display. The noise will vary from an S3 up to a

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 ATU Modes

2015-09-09 Thread w...@msn.com
Sorry, I misunderstood what AUTO meant. A better label would be ATU ON or ATU INLINE. AUTO implies that it will automatically do the tuning. Semantics :-) w...@msn.com wrote: My KX3 ATU is normally set to AUTO in the menu. Does this mean it will automatically tune without user action? If so

[Elecraft] KX3 ATU Modes

2015-09-09 Thread w...@msn.com
My KX3 ATU is normally set to AUTO in the menu. Does this mean it will automatically tune without user action? If so, how do you set the SWR at which it begins the tuning process. I only have it in BYP when using the vertical antenna with the LDG RT100 remote tuner. Ron W7HD KX3 #6966 --

[Elecraft] KX3 macro for less than one watt?

2015-09-11 Thread w...@msn.com
Is there a programming command to set the KX3 power to less than one watt? PC001; seems to be the lowest level you can get, according to the programming guide. The NAQCC sprints often use power levels that must be less than one watt, which means a manual setting on the front panel. I love
