[Elecraft] KX3 roofing filters
Thanks to all for replies and tips. Turns out that the radio as I received it (factory assembled) had the “xfil3” setting for the roofing filters at “not install” rather than at “nor” I changed the setting to “nor” and now the roofing filters do kick in as I narrow the BW with the PBT control. 72, Jeff KB3DX __ 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
[Elecraft] KX3 roofing filters
I finally! got to power up my KX3 that I bought in February. Pathetic, really, but due to new job, lots of travel, etc. I have the KXFL3 roofing filters. As I understand the manual, the roofing filters should kick in automatically as I narrow the PBT. But mine don’t. Sorry for what is likely a very elementary question. Any guidance would be appreciated. 72, Jeff KB3DX __ 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
Re: [Elecraft] I wish Elecraft would make this radio
I have a KX-1, and will soon have a KX-3. I agree they are different radios, in the best possible way. I would also say that adding the features that would turn a KX-1 into a KX-3 not only makes no business sense for Elecraft, but also would disserve the loyal customer base. That said, the two features of the KX-1 I would love to see added/changed are: 1. More digits in the display. Maybe it's just me, but I often have to toggle among resolutions to remember where I am in the band. 2. More bands. Not necessarily all. For qrp, 20 and 30 are great for daytime, and 40 and 80 for night. Would be nice to have 15. I do love the size of the KX-1, which makes it the perfect take-along-on-a-business-trip-even-when-unsure-you-will-have-time-to-play radio. I think the KX-3 is a little too big for that, but the perfect size for taking along when you KNOW you'll have time to play. Thanks for being Elecraft. Best thing that has happened to fun ham radio since I was licensed in 1964. 73, Jeff KB3DX Jeffrey Blumenfeld jeffreyblumenf...@mac.com M: 202.255.6300 F: 202.686.1837 Begin forwarded message: From: Phil Hystad phys...@mac.com Subject: Re: [Elecraft] I wish Elecraft would make this radio Date: January 4, 2013 11:22:18 AM EST To: hawley, charles j jr c-haw...@illinois.edu Cc: elecraft@mailman.qth.net elecraft@mailman.qth.net, N1EU n1eu.ba...@gmail.com I have the KX1 and the KX3 and I would not call the KX3 huge compared to the KX1, I would say that it was larger. Huge would be maybe comparing a K3 to a KX1. Having said that I am almost always leaning towards the KX3 for QRP and portable work now. No, I will not sell the KX1 because I like it and there are good reasons I want to use that as well (still). But, if the KX1 had a larger screen and handled 80 thru 10 and maybe one or two other more modern features then it would be so close to the KX3 that it would not be a good decision for product lineup. The KX1 having its special place at the lower end of available QRP rigs is a good marketing objective. Oh, I also have a Norcal 40A but it does collect dust now-a-days. 73, phil, K7PEH On Jan 4, 2013, at 8:17 AM, hawley, charles j jr c-haw...@illinois.edu wrote: I have one and the lack of a full display is probably the thing I would like changed the most.
