that will take a mike/key/cables etc.
I'll add my endorsement of the cases, covers and my HexKey cover (which can be

It is useful for testing all kinds of audio circuits. For example, you

ive just fitted 30/80 board its working great but the left hand number on the
display keeps flashig up a number 8 it is also usually brighter than the
other 2 figures in the display. Anyone have any ideas on where ive gone wrong?
Thanks, Gary, 2E0BFJ
Gary,
Did you solder the wire from the E pad on the KXB3080 board to the
correct via hole? Check carefully, then double check and triple check.
Also, is the firmware chip fully seated? The narrow part of the leads
should be fully into the socket. It takes a good deal of force to seat
it -
The other day I was receiving a very loud (S9+10) Jt65a signal from a local
station and was noticing that his signal seemed to be modulated by a
commercial radio station. So I was just about to send him an email saying
that he had a problem, when I adjusted the RF gain, turned the ATT on and

Hi Dave,
Using slope 000 is likely most of your problem. With that setting all
signals regardless of strength are set to the same level regardless of
how loud they are coming in. If they are zero beat or close, it will
mush the dickens out of the copy by making them all the same level in
your
The IF setting of NB in the K3 is a traditional shut-down-the-IF
blanker and will always exhibit that behavior. A strong enough signal
will modulate it. Turning on PRE takes away from the headroom
needlessly below 10 meters. Keep the ATT/PRE/RFGAIN low enough that
ambient noise is moderately low.
Wrong ... you have that totally backwards. AGC SLP = 000 gives the LEAST
amount of AGC action you can get in the K3. AGC SLP = 015 is the setting that
makes all signals above the threshold sound the same, and potentially creates
mushy distortion for multiple signals depending on what setting
Having the Slope set to 000 is like not having the AGC on at all.
If you're going to have a theshold, then why bother to keep the AGC from
actually doing anything? At least put that Slope to 04 or something where it
actually makes a difference. If your concern is having loud signals be

When the K3 is in the LSB, USB or AM mode, adjusting the bandwidth down to
