Re: [Elecraft] newbie kx3 question
Rick, If the ATU has already been tuned to that frequency and antenna, you may not hear any clicks. The ATU remembers the proper L and C values and changes to them as you change frequency. Then when you push the ATU TUNE button, the KX3 see an already low SWR and simply exits. Change the antenna, and you will hear clicking. 73, Don W3FPR On 12/12/2018 6:19 AM, Richard watson wrote: Good morning listers, just got my kx3 yesterday and had a quick question, I had the internal tuner factory installed.

Re: [Elecraft] newbie kx3 question
Is the ATU enabled in the settings menu? Page 14 of the KX3 User's guide, right hand column, about half way down the page: The ATU MD menu entry must be set to AUTO mode. Yes, you will hear lots of clicking and whirring as the internal relays select the right LC values. regards, Brian VE3IBW On Wed, Dec 12, 2018 at 6:22 AM Richard watson < richard.watson15...@gmail.com> wrote: > Good morning listers, > just got my kx3 yesterday and had a quick question, > I had the internal tuner factory installed.

[Elecraft] newbie kx3 question
Good morning listers, just got my kx3 yesterday and had a quick question, I had the internal tuner factory installed. Whenever I push the antenna tune button (connected to a random wire, the relays don't seem to engage. I am visually impaired and am still learning the hampod as well. Should I hear something whenever I push the button and if so what? thanks and 73 rick __ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
