No, you can't do this with the "mini loop" antenna, you need a good &
strong signal source. Please read all the gory details at:

Hi Mike--
Just saw your reply (in my spam folder!) after returning from a 2 week

Mine went well too. I updated to the latest version first. I did charge for
about 4 hours and the 2400 mah NiMH came up to 11.7 vdc. The next day I went to
charge again just to see, and the charger posted an err which was because the
battery voltage was already high I believe. That err occurs if

Do you have this flood of noise in any laptop power condition or only when
operating while battery are charging and no noise when running with battery
power alone ?

In the past I extolled virtues of speech processing in KX3 but it seems that
this was premature.
In a number of SSB QSOs, KX3 was not too strong despite setting COMP to the
max and MIC GAIN to a few bars. Many marginal QSOs in portable situation
where an extra few db would help quite a bit.

Installed my KXBC3 battery charger board last night in #1435 and all is well.
No error codes and time set OK as well as alarm set OK and worked. I used

There are big differences between interfacing a PC to the KX3 I/Q port

Hi Glen,
I am not sure about the Microsoft wireless keyboard, does it have mouse with
it? The USB on the SVGA does not support composite keyboards, in other
words, those with mice. The Logitech K360 wireless works really good and I
think you can still find them at Staples for around $15 each.
Just another data point, but the Logitech MK360 wireless USB keyboard
and mouse combo from Walmart works FB here (see link below). Not using
the mouse of course, but the keyboard and mouse combo may be used
elsewhere if desired.

You will not need to connect any more pins, but you can try putting a
jumper between pins 7 and 8 at the computer end of the cable. No
guarantee that it will help, that depends on whether your application
tries to do handshaking, but it certainly will not hurt anything.

I don't have a source, but I need to give you some information regarding
the 9 pin connector.
The 9 pin 'Y' may give you problems. RS-232 signalling is for point to
point communications only. If there are two drivers on a signal line,
they will interfere with each other (even if idle).
At Pacificon, I cornered one of my contest buddies, Bob, K6XX, an
Elecraft employee, about my KAT500. Well ... actually ... he cornered
me about SOTA and the summit he lives on, we do know each other fairly
