Dear Elecraft, I am planning to use my KX3 with an external transverter. The KX3 has only the single main antenna socket, and it is important that I do not accidentally transmit too high a power into the transverter's input attenuator and mixer. Normally I would want a very low power level.
I can set the maximum power when using a transverter using the XV H in the KX3 menu, this is very useful, however I believe that the ATU TUNE button will still try and tune at approx 3 watts even though I set a lower maximum power of say 0.1 watts in XV H. I thought perhaps that when an XV was selected in the BAND that the ATU TUNE would be disabled, or the ATU always put in BYPASS mode but it is not. I know I can put the ATU in bypass mode, but I am bound to forget one day, and accidentally press ATU TUNE and cause damage to my transverter. I guess I have a feature request, make sure that ATU TUNE button does not transmit when a XV is selected (ATU in bypass mode) , it would also be nice if the ATU mode was band specific. 73 David Anderson GM4JJJ ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
