John,

Hi All,
Apologies if this question posts twice - my attempt yesterday was
unsuccessful, so here goes again.
I've been running KX3 #2511 for several years on SSB with the MH3 mic and
with settings: Mic gain 35 and compression 12. It's worked flawlessly and
that combination of settings has
Hi Dave,
I've used an MFJ 1786 for some years now and my experience has been positive.
It's not a beam at 100ft, but over many hundreds of QSOs, the reports I've
received and sent compare favorably with a wire doublet up at 40 feet. There's
a learning curve associated with tuning it, but once
Hi Gary,
I had thought about re-wiring the fans with 2 pin Molex connectors ( I have a
packet of them here) but took Harry's lead and trimmed down the 3 pin instead.
It was easy and the result very neat - the plastic is soft and easily cut with
a hobby knife. I cable tied the excess lead
Thanks Don. I appreciate the tips. The power and ambient temp calibrations
check out OK. I'll try changing the fan setting and see what that does. I work
only CW and once the rig gets up to the temperature threshold, after an over or
two, the fan stays pretty busy thereafter. Leaving the fan
Hello Group,
I just want to share my experience in case it's of interest to others.
I have excellent hearing and I have K3 #5102 and while it's a rig with
outstanding capabilities, the fan noise has always bothered me. My K3 has the
Utec fans and even on low speed, there's something about the
Good question! I had a look, but couldn't find a Noctua fan with the same specs
as the stock Sunon which came with my KPA500. I did find that the fan noise on
the KPA500 was reduced by mounting it on a silicone gasket and I'm happy with
the improvement it made, so will leave it at that.
I've been using my K3/100 with a Signalink USB for nearly 2 years and, once
set correctly, the pair work flawlessly. The instructions for power setting in
digital modes are repeated many times on this reflector and were hard to miss
when I went looking for help. Once you accept that it's the
Thanks Don. That makes perfect sense. It's just the way it is. I'm happy now I
know.

Hello Group,
I'm pleased to announce that K1 #2822 is born - after a long gestation.
I had couple of hitches along the way, which I thought might be interesting
to report:
I got as far as the end of RF board Part 1 in the build and came to page 36
of the manual where I power up for the first
Hello all,
I'm progressing on my build of K1 #2822 and I've hit a conceptual block in my
understanding of an aspect of the alignment process. I apologise if this has
been discussed before on this list. I've read through the archives and can't
find a very clear explanation. I'm hoping
Hello All,
I'm new to the group, so this is to say hello. I'm happily breathing life
into my K1 #2822. It arrived for Xmas. The build is going well and my
toroid winding skills are improving :)
I have a couple of questions about K1 mods:
