[Elecraft] KXV3 board questions

2008-07-26 Thread Jack Colson
Just installed the KXV3 board this morning and have observed the 
following:

1) the RX ant works - what is the RX ant OUT for?

2) in the Config menu for the KXV3 get only these three options - nor, 
not installed and EESE.


3) in the config WMTR mode, will only go to HP and VFO A just varies a 
number from 0-100, no option for LP or MW


4) observed the transverter out and in with an oscilloscope and when in 
cw mode and key rig all I see is differentiated spikes.


I went through the transverter set up menu as well.  That seems to agree 
with the manual.


Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Jack, W3TMZ

I believe that you can use it for feeding your signals through a preamp.
I used it a while back for doing A/B comparisons of rigs.  I set the
other rig to 0Watts out then I connected the output of that rig to RX
out.  Then hooked the antenna up to RX ANT.  Then I could tune both rigs
to a signal and then quickly switch between the two and do comparisons.
The K3 compared favoribly to my TS450 but heck I knew the TS450 was a
noisy son of a gun once I got my K1!

That actually says tESt

 3) in the config WMTR mode, will only go to HP and VFO A just varies a

If you simply turn your power below 12 watts you'll get WMTR LP.  Then
to get to the MW setting you need to put your KXV3 into tESt mode.
Check page 46 ofyour owners manual.

 4) observed the transverter out and in with an oscilloscope and when in 
 cw mode and key rig all I see is differentiated spikes.

Were you in a transverter band?
