All,
Magnetic Fields in close proximity to the relays in the KX3 will
interfere with the relay operation. The aluminum enclosure of the KX3
(KX2 etc.) will not stop a magnetic field.
This was a problem with the speaker magnet in some KPA100s because the
speaker was positioned right above the
Sorry for the late response.. I had the exact problem several weeks
ago. Every time I removed the batteries the problem would be
resolved.. The problem was ultimately me being a dumb ass.. I had
purchased a nice blue tooth speaker that perfectly sat on top of the
KX3, however it kept sliding
Hi all,
I opened up the KX3 and pulled the ATU, everything seemed to be in order and
the LPF was in the correct position.
I put the original batteries back in to keep the testing the same as
previously. They were a bit lower than I had previously thought, read 9V
(alkaline). I put up a 20m
25.4:1 SWR is what the KX3 reads for a short or an open, if I remember
correctly.
Agreed, open it up, make sure everything is tight, include the ribbon cable.

I had a similar problem at Winter Field Day. Between the dummy load and
the rig on a 3' patch cord, SWR wouldn't settle to 1.0:1. Cracked the
hatch, looked around. Touched nothing inside. Put the KX3 back together,
presto, SWR started behaving itself again. The ATU now matches to expected
Nate,
Since the problem is intermittent, I would not suspect a problem with an
active component.
You might want to remove the bottom cover and check to be certain the
hardware on the BNC jack is tight and the LPF on the BNC connector is
properly positioned. You may have to lift the KXAT3
Hi,
I was working with my KX3 earlier today, RX only, using an endfed, while
running on batteries, RXing WSPR and PSK31.
After running for a bit, the ATU seemed to stop working. Attempting to retune
on 40m, it would stick at a 25.4:1 SWR.
Tried switching down to 20m and it retuned right
