Jim,
To add to what Mike said in the reflector, and, as I understand it,
you can make the XG3 scan between two set frequencies. I suspect that,
if you set those frequencies fairly narrow and within the band pass of
the receiver, you should get some buzz (I suspect some sort of
saw-tooth).
Dave,
I use TR4W (www.tr4w.com). When unassisted, the only spots on the band map
are those that I myself have put in there so band map is not really crowded.
TR4W can show band map for all the bands simultaneously or one band at a
time (you can change it on the fly), one mode or all modes, all s
What am I doing wrong? If I hit the paddle when in SSB mode to send some
CW, the rig keys and the sidetone sounds as normal, but there's no RF
output. I'm pretty sure it used to work, so what have I broken?

Hi Jim,
I don't have an XG3 but from the elecraft page it looks like it works on
frequencies above what you are looking for so it should work for you. With
an FM receiver you will hear quieting when the carrier from the XG3 is on
the frequency your receiver is tuned to. Often FM receivers are so
Richard,
I suspect that your different readings come from the fact that your W2 is in
line after your antenna tuner. The transmitter reading shows the SWR the
transmitter sees after the antenna tuner has adjusted things so the
trnamitter sees a 50 ohm load, while the W2 is reading the actual SW
Hi,
I have a need for a 72.9 MHz signal source that can be heard on an FM receiver.
The question is does the XG3 cover that frequency and can it's output cause
any kind of an indication on an FM receiver. I'm not looking for intelligent
audio from the receiver.just a buzz, hiss of anything

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I believe Wayne posted this info

I agree that the band maps built into logging programs like N1MM and DX4WIN
are helpful, and I use them alot during contests and regular logging. But
sometimes band maps get very crowded and they normally only allow you to
view one band at a time. I still think that a band stacking feat
Dave,
You do not have to use the 1 thru 0 buttons --- use those buttons for
band changing, it works slick.
The M1-4 buttons can be used in the same way - and they are per band -
so if you change to another band and switch back, those remembered
frequencies are still valid.
You probably do not

First thing was to get a dummy load that could run full power of the

David,
I do not see why K3 should be overloaded with such features. All you have
described below is much easier done with the help of computer logging. What
you describe is basically what is known as BAND MAP. Band map of most of the
loggers is much more informative and easier to use then memo

Steve,
I do have the KPA500 and your email gave me the idea for another workaround for
a lack of a bandstacking feature on the K3. I decided to start using the

these memories to store band memories from 160 through 6
The SWR reading on the W2 is vastly different from the SWR reading on the meter

You don't mention what radio you are using with the KPA500. If it is the K3, do
you have ALC turned on in the K3? And, do you have the KPA500's ALC output

Hi Bob,
I know for certain the the actual VFO shift is not reflected in the

that alone. The
