This happened to me two years ago. they take your entire contact list and
exploit it. No big deal really, although i was blocked from this reflector
in spite of numerous appeals. So I go a new e mail. It happens alot and is

I hope you can read this, but do the values look reasonable, for a KX1
with the output power mod. Peak to peak (Vpp) voltages and RMS (Vrms)
were taken with a high end O'scope and used to compute the Power
values (Ppp and Prms).
Seems the KX1 read the supply voltage about 0.4 volts low.

That's half-true only if one does not alter **any component values**! Duh!
Otherwise that statement was very incorrect at several levels.

I appreciate you asking this question because my new KX3 will be with me on
many business trips in the future. The advice was awesome from the folks on
this reflector. I especially did not know the potential battery issue in the

Thanks for asking

As said, N1MM can key the K3 via the serial port.
Still, I use my old K1EL keyer because:
- easy and quick change of keying-speed
- easy hook-up and integration of my CW-paddle
- easy and understandable ptt from the keyer to the K3
- easy setup (delays etc.) in the winkey page of N1MM.

So the new "REMOTE" mode of the K3 uses the normal K3 commands from the
