nulling calibration for each band when you add a

Brendon,
it is per band and it makes a real difference!

Given my understanding of the roofing filter design in the KX3, I don't
think there is any per-band adjustments to make. IIRC, the filter is an
analog low-pass filter that operates after the direct down-conversion.
If I'm wrong, then please set me straight. Especially because I'm

Does the factory do a full per-band calibration, or do they just calibrate on
20m and extrapolate? If the latter I'd suggest to do the full per-band
calibration yourself even for a factory-fitted roofing filter, as it does make
a difference (obviously back up your config first so you can restore
My mistake, I was thinking of the K3S transceiver.

It is in the roofing filter manual, here:

What is the roofing filter calibration process? I do not recall seeing
anything other than offset and gain settings in the manual.

I'd look at and consider moving the roofing filters up on the priority
list because of the calibration required.

Also, IF you order the roofing filter for the KX3…. even with a kit purchase….
the factory will calibrate it for you, so all you need do is install the little
board. They have a test jig, so that the filter will be tested with YOUR
particular main board. Best of both worlds… save some money, a

The roofing filters require some calibration. If they are factory-installed,
Elecraft does that for you. All the other options are exactly the same whether

Brian,
The answer is YES, you can add any of those options later.
Review your operating aspirations to determine which options will
provide the most benefit for you, and in what timeframe.
If you have resonant antennas at the home station (or are willing to use
a manual tuner initially), then y
Hi Brian,
Given your initial intent (KX3/KXPA100), later installation of any
option module for either unit is quite easy to do and all are
well-documented in installation instructions. The KX3 is designed as a
modular "package" and a lot of design intent went towards adding on as

Further to my earlier post I've decided to move forward and go with the
KX3/KXPA100 combo to replace my ft817 AND my Kenwood TS590. The ft817 has
already found its new home and my TS590 will soon be next. Again, it will be
nice to just have one radio for base and QRP on trips.

I initially bought a K3/10 (10w version) in 2010, which I really like
and is the prime radio used for eme with transverters.
But I originally had both a FT-847 (very good for VHF & UHF, but
lousy on HF) and a FT-817 (bought primarily to use portable on 144

Brian,
In August of 2015 I sold all my HF radios to buy a used KX3 with the 100w
amp, I never regretted the decision. I did buy the internal tuner and
installed it myself and will soon get the 2 meter add-on.
Barry (K3NDM) mention Win4k3 and CWSkimmer, which I use as well along with

Brian,
I suspect you will *gain* performance with the Elecraft gear. Especially
if you equate performance with being able to copy weaker signals and the
ability to "saddle up" closer to other stations when working in a pileup.
Another thing to consider with Elecraft is "upgradability". Elecra

Re "Is it safe to assume I won't be loosing any
performance by making this chance and even gain
some?": If you mean the KX2 or KX3 vs. the FT-817
you should have better HF performance by far. And
you can opt for an internal ATU in either rig, a
huge plus in my mind, Brian.
