[Elecraft] KX3 need microphone help
I'm running a KX3 and KXPA100 here. Both are very early units but with the latest firmware. All is fine with the Elecraft hand mic but I want to use a boom mic and foot switch. However, I'm having problems with two different mics. In both cases, when power is set to more than 50W, the audio is distorted. This happens with the Carolina Windham, the hex beam, and even on a dummy load. I added a common mode choke but it didn't help. The mic with the problem is an Electrovoice RE15 on a boom with its XLR connection going into a HOSA splitter cable, TRS on the KX3 side and two XLR connectors on the other. Thinking this old Electrovoice might be the problem, I also tried a non-amplified D104 upgraded with a Heil HC5 element. It's connected with a TRRS patch cable cut and hard wired into the D104 base. The problem remains regardless of mic bias on or off and mic buttons on or off. Anyone have any ideas? Or, can anyone recommend a mic and cabling solution I can buy?

Re: [Elecraft] [KX3] More Macro Buttons
I'd find this very useful too. If it was possible to set one of the PF buttons to a "more macros" feature, then not only 0 through 9 but essentially every other button and knob could be used to activate a different macro. It would just be necessary to push the PF key followed by the desired other button or knob.

Re: [Elecraft] Toggle PF1 in KX3
Ken, You have the SWT19 and SWT27 in the wrong macros, causing the reassignment to fail. Macro 1 assigns macro 1 to PF1 and macro 2 assigns macro 2 to PF1 rather than alternating so you get the desired toggling. Also, I always end with the mn255.

[Elecraft] KX3 CAT control fails via KXPA100
My KXPA100 arrived yesterday. It's a great amp and very easy to setup and use. I have one unexpected issue though. Set up is PC connected via KUSB to the KXPA100, KXPA100 connected by KXPACBL to the KX3, and latest firmware on both. When PA Mode is set to on, Amateur Contact log cannot read or set anything (e.g., frequency or mode) on the KX3. When PA Mode is set to off, all works as expected.

Re: [Elecraft] K3S VFO B doesn't change sub-RX frequency
Hi George. Thanks for the reply. It’s not in diversity receive because I do get different frequencies on VFO A and VFO B. Turning VFO A tunes the main RX as expected but turning the VFO B knob does nothing. The VFO B knob itself does work because it correctly changes things in the config menu. Holding SUB allows me to tune the sub RX. I just can’t tune the sub RX with the VFO B knob. It used to work as expected but now doesn’t. That’s why I thought a setting may have been changed inadvertently. 73 Jim KY2D From: George Danner Sent: Monday, December 4, 2023 09:06 To: Jim Kutsch KY2D Cc: Elecraft List Subject: Re: [Elecraft] K3S VFO B doesn't change sub-RX frequency Are you "Holding" Sub to turn on sub?

It's as if it's locked but unlock doesn't change the situation. Might there be a config setting that was accidentally changed? I think I've gone through everything and haven't found a solution.

[Elecraft] KX3/KXPA100 Loss of CW Sidetone
This is puzzling so I'm asking for help. When on the NJ CW net at the bottom end of 80 meters (3.544 MHz), the KX3 CW sidetone works fine but when I use the KXPA100 , the sidetone is silent. The CW is being sent as expected, just no sidetone at all. On all other CW bands, it works as expected. Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any ideas where I should look to solve this problem? It's a bit difficult to use the paddle with only a slight hum in the PC speakers across the room as the CW feedback.
