The main and sub receivers each provide a buffered IF output. The KXV3
has a single IF out connector. At the present time, you must choose
which receiver you will attach to the output connector on the KXV3.

Black crackle paint is nice but a dust collector. I prefer bare aluminum.
Interesting. Virtually 99% of my SSB operating is done using an ear-sealing
Heil Pro-Set headset, and I find headset SSB operation to be quite
uncomfortable without transmit audio feedback. I set mine to where the sound
of my own voice sounds approximately the same volume that it does when I'm

75 watts, seems to happen just about anywhere above 10 watts.
I'm just sure I read about someone else having this problem, I

Quite some time ago I had a problem with my K2/100's receiver, its
