Thanks Mike - it was an ID-10T error: I had the RX antenna selected with nothing on the RX antenna port. 73 de Lee, AA4GA On Thu, May 11, 2023 at 9:47 PM Michael Carter wrote: > Hi Lee, > > Do you also have a reduced RX signal level > on 30 meters as well as 20 meters, at least > by

Hi Lee, Do you also have a reduced RX signal level on 30 meters as well as 20 meters, at least by comparison with your KX3? Since the TX output is OK, I will hazard a guess that one of the relays in the 20/30M bandpass filter is not making good contact or has developed a weak solder joint on the

I thought about quoting Jack Nicholson from A Few Good Men when he said "well don't I feel like a" but thought better of it. 100% operator error. As diagnosed by N7GP and W0GHZ, I had my RX antenna button pushed. I don't have an RX antenna, so I never push it...on purpose. I'm glad it

Hi All, Recently I've noticed that signal levels have been down on 20m on my K3/10. At first, I thought it was just band condx and didn't pay much attention to it, but over the weekend I switched to the KX3 and signals were much better - S-meter, P(X)3, and my ears...like maybe 30dB or so. 40

The suspect was pursued, caught, arrested and taken to the garbage with the soldering iron. It was a defective pin diode that caused the loss of 10 dB. Thanks to all who have given me advice. 73 Udo, DK5YA Am 02.11.2015 um 16:18 schrieb Udo Langenohl - DK5YA: Gents, in spring I made an

Gents, in spring I made an upgrade to my K3 (#59xx) with the internal ATU KAT3A. After this I guessed that there is a noise drop on all bands from 160 up to 10, but was not 100% sure. The strange thing: neighbor stations with similar setup always gave much better reports than me, at least 10

Adding the KAT3A gives you the possibility to be listening to a coax jack with no antenna connected. To get started... Make sure that CONFIG: KAT3 is *not* set to "not inst". Be certain of that by hitting the "ANT" and "RXANT" buttons that you are on the coax connector you intend. After that
