Phil I have the internal 2m module in my K3 and just went through the same issues. I used a single yagi an M2 2m5WL I liked the truss system much better than the 17B2's that always fail at the truss points the M2's figured that out. It's on a 34' boom but light weight and small wind load. I used

NR settings have never been adjustable. But we do hope to add that feature in a future release. For now, to adjust the NR parameters you must use the RX NR menu entry. Search the KX3 firmware release notes for RX NR for details. You may have been changing the MONitor, AF gain, or RF gain

Couple of notes: The Freescale 1200w 2m amp is really making an impact for eme level operation as the amp can be located near the antenna thus avoiding large low-loss feedlines (more on that, below). I discovered another source of this amplifier from Communications Concepts, Inc.

[Elecraft] [K3] Strange S meter behaviour

2013-01-22 Thread Richard
I calibrated the S meters on all my friends' and my own K3's with the XG2. All display S9 at 50 uV and S2-3 at 1 uV, which is normal. On one of them, however, signals up to S9+20 dB seem reasonable, but above that, the S meter goes to hardly believable +50/+60 dB, for rather unrealistic
