[Elecraft] KX3 feature request. Wider AM bandwidth.

2012-06-06 Thread Alan Davenport
Many hams are also SWLs and enjoy listening to international broadcasts. The KX3 does a great job and has great audio. Being able to remove all low frequency rolloff makes it sound worlds better than other general coverage ham rigs. It adds real presence to the audio. However the maximum 4.2

[Elecraft] KX3/K3 Operating Tip: Working a pileup using dual watch instead of SPLIT

2012-06-06 Thread Wayne Burdick
Often a DX station will say up 2 (or just up) in order to move callers away from his own frequency. This allows everyone to still hear the DX station at all times despite dozens of stations calling. Traditionally, this is accomplished using SPLIT. On a K3 or KX3, you'd set VFO A to the DX

Yes; in this case, dual watch on the KX3 is equivalent to using the K3 sub receiver. I prefer this method over SPLIT when working pileups. 73, Wayne N6KR On Jun 6, 2012, at 10:02 AM, Jorge Diez - CX6VM wrote: Thanks Wayne I did that but pressing SUB button on my K3, then I can listen on
