Looking at the KPA500 programmers reference, it would appear that you should
be using a semicolon rather than a colon.

Matt,
The KX3 will have about 30 dB better dynamic range than the IC-7000,
even without the roofing filter.
I'm not knocking the 7000 -- it's a versatile little rig. It's just a
question of how much RX performance you want. Of course the KX3's
ergonomics are completely different, too.

Hi List ..
My winter project for the Jitney is to convert my 144 IF levels to
0dBm up to the transverters to avoid horrible disasters that were
happening with +30dBm IF levels ;)
I've got my microwave station ripped out of the Jitney and on the
bench, and I'm going through everything setting
I used the N-gen ... worked fine for initial alignment and, together with the
free
version of Spectrogram, worked very well for filter alignment.

Well, I've had some good fun with the IC7000, but I think I'm going to enjoy
the KX3 a whole lot more :-) Performance, ergonomics, portability, convenience
-- yes, I'm really looking forward to my first Elecraft experience.

I send ^os0;^os; and ^os1;^os; in the KPA Utility. The trailing ^os; is a
query; I compare its response with the intended setting.

Even if you are running barefoot (amp in standby) the LCD window on the
KPA500 is functional and will give you a numeric power out or SWR if you
choose. No need for the LED's.
I'll be looking to sell my Autek WM-1 SWR meter at Dayton this year as I
feel it is redundant now.

Matt, the K2 works well in a portable environment. The last few Zuni
Loop QRP Field Days have been mostly K2s, with one K3 this year.

Is there any reason why I cannot connect the K144XV internal FM module (and
FM filter) into the second receiver instead of the main or is it designed to
only connect to the main?
Are there other problems with doing this such as configuring antennas or
not being able to transmit etc?
Thanks es
Hi Johnny,
I like my K2, but I've never regretted selling a transceiver more than
when I sold my FT-817. Mostly because I like VHF/UHF.
The list price for an FT-817 here is $695 + $69 (for the W4RT OBP speech
processor) + $284 (for the most expensive 2-Collins-filter package from
W4RT) =
Great news! I'm planning on placing my order when the 2m board
becomes available. I'm also super excited about the KX3, but I don't have
a pressing need to be in the first run this time :). A KX3 w/ 2m in time
for the June contests, however, would be fab!
