If you are writing your own software, you will have to become proficient

The signals at the IQ jack on the KX3 are analog, not digital. They are

Sorry, I was thinking of the KX2 which always has the IF shift enabled.

Due to the overwhelming response, I'm temporally out of stock for the CALL
SIGN option A much bigger batch is in the works Watch for my ebay
listings or send me an email n8...@arrl.net to be notified of
availability. BTW the no call sign options are still available.
I'm running NAp3 v2.2.4.2 on Windows 8.1, connected to the RX I/Q port on my
KX3 at one end and to the Line In jack on an iMac on the other end. As some
other folks have seen, there is an initial issue with "images" or "duplicated"
signals when NaP3 starts up. Ken (W0CZ) tipped me to a way to ge
Now that the KX3 can function as a full QRO transceiver with the new
amplifier, I find myself a bit disappointed with audio output power.
Even with the most efficient speaker I can find, I can't really get a
comfortable audio level. So, I'm kind of stuck with headphones to
really hear well.
I get an "bat Err" message if I want to charge my battery pack on the KX3.
The battery (NiMh) seems to be very low, as the KX3 doesn't start with
them. The LEDs light up shortly then nothing.
But if powered externally, I'd expect I get my battery recharged.
What can I do?
Tnx,

I adjusted the menu setting for cw weight to 1.15, because I like a little

There has been a lot of talk recently regarding the KX3, thermal limits
and heatsinks.
Some of you may remember the heatsink design and pictures I originally
posted six months ago. I think I was one of the first to execute a
heatsink design for the KX3, but soon afterward my company machine s
Has anybody heard anything regarding the timing of the KX3-2M module for the KX3? Is
it still planned for high enough stability for JT65B mode and a maximum power of 10w?

Shortly after I got my KX3, #1716 I think, I noticed some moderate drift while
doing PSK31. I bought, built and ran the Extende d VFO C ompensation procedure
and things improved. Now, about a year or 18 months later I am told I have
drift showing up on my signal. I re-ran the procedure and all
Yesterday afternoon I noticed an odd issue with my KX3. I've had it almost two
years and have never seen this before. 17 meters had broadcast interference
from one end to the other on USB and CW (same station). I could hear nothing
on AM. I checked the K3 and K2 on the same antenna and had n
