Re: [Elecraft] KX3-MIC COMP Setting / Metering

Well, Mostly because Gary at Elecraft told me he monitors power output since the ALC meter isn't driving right and that is what he recommends. That is difficult in the field on batteries because the target power is variable based on voltage. Also, the meter defaults to ALC when adjusting mic gain

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 + NaP3

Yes - good point, quite right. I made a mistake in my post indicating the lines were on the I/Q output, they were on audio...apparetly due to AFX DELAY being on. Jim -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX3-NaP3-tp7558731p7562593.html Sent from the Elecraft

Re: [Elecraft] KX3 + NaP3

Correction, the nulls were on audio, no I/Q. They only exist when using a stereo cable or jumpering the left and right channels together. If I pass a mono signal to the computer, they go away. I tried an isolation transformer with the combined signals, and they didn't filter it. My guess is the
