Hi Ed. When the other fellow (sorry, just went blank on his name) said u need a good sound card, he was right, mostly. The better the soundcard the better nap3 will work. However, when I first started - say, the first 3 months or so, I used the soundcard built into my Old Dell D620 laptop

Dave, Haven't used a Timewave 599zx with a K3, and only for a half hour or so with my KX3. However, I did use the 599zx with an older non-DSP radio for over a year and it made a tremendous difference in CW (don't operate phone much, so no comment). But my urban QTH is -very- noisy. After I got

Hi Nick. I've traveled with my KX3 and various accessories on a dozen or more flights, both domestic (around the USA) and into several European countries. Here's a synopsis of the results and best practices derived therefrom. 1. No one has ever shown the slightest interest in the KX3 (with

I drive my KPA500 with a KX3. The KPA 500 has the January release firmware (sorry I don't have the number and I'm not at my QTH). I generally have the tuner in the KX3 disabled because it should be when running throught the KPA500, and isn't needed when operating directly into my resonant fan
