[Elecraft] KX3 manual information

2017-09-21 Thread Keith Hamilton
I would like to point out there is no errata for the KX3 owners manual which was printed about 2 years ago according to the Elecraft website. Lots of firmware changes in 2 years! So an errata page does not solve my problem. It is hard for me to believe there is no up-to-date information available

Re: [Elecraft] Kx33 PSU for KX2?

2017-09-21 Thread Mark E. Musick
Hi Bret, The short answer is yes. I have a Kx33 to power my K2/10. If I remember correctly, it is rated 14.4 V at 4 Amps. For K2 owners who have the internal battery, he has an adapter you can purchase that will reduce the voltage to 13.8 Volts for battery charging. It is a very good power supply.

VFO A controls both receivers in diversity mode, but VFO B can be tuned separately. Typically it would be used as a holding register for another frequency of interest, or for the transmit frequency in SPLIT mode. See the third paragraph on page 40 (under “Diversity Receive”). 73, Wayne N6KR
