Just had my first Olivia contact using my KX3. ( Olivia 4/500) On 80m before I called the Virginia Digital Traffic net. Set at 5 watts into 75 meter OCF up about 45 ft. External SWR meter said about 2.5 watts to antenna with 2.7:1 SWR. Was W4FMD's Got up to about 45C. While not a KX1 on the other end K3 on the other end.
Did not call the state wide net with the KX3, rather switched back to my K3 at 75 watts out ( rotten conditions). After net called a NY station using Olivia 156/500 on the KX3 but he did not hear me. Only got part of his call but he is a net regular so knew who was calling. Heading to higher frequencies for the rest of the weekend. 73, tom n4zpt On 5/4/2012 7:43 PM, AF6NI wrote: > I just called CQ on 14.060 with my KX1 and K7NEW came back to me running a > KX3.
