Re: [Elecraft] Updated KX3 audio-Morse user interface (for blind operators and mobile use)

The DISP key sends the Y of X.YYY.ZZZ on the display. Is there a way to read the X and ZZZ parts too? You can get it to send X.YYY by changing bands, but I'd prefer to be able to get a full readout without changing bands. The KX1 reads both sides of the VFO freq when the band button is

Hi Greg, Really appreciate the detailed instructions! Still waiting for my 9000 and new Enloops, but I will follow these recommendations as soon as it arrives. I didn't even think of the importance of Low Discharge verses the high Ah rating, but it is clearly an important parameter. Rich

Chris, I am not certain what you are referring to as a CAT5 coupler, so the answer is maybe. If the CAT5 coupler is an RS-232 to Ethernet converter, it should work, but if it simply takes the RS-232 signals and simply connects them directly to the wires of a CAT5 cable, there will be a limit

A CAT5 coupler is a double female junction that allows two spans of CAT5 cable to be butted together to form a longer cable. In general, these don't hold the longer cable within CAT5 specs, but that may not be important in this application. The total maximum cable span is probably a question for

The KWM-2 was IIRC 1500 Hz -- and my FPM-300 was 1750. *That* was too much, and inspired a relay-switched front -panel RIT control. The design reason was sound (no pun intended, for once) enough; the transmit IF filter had to suppress harmonics of the keyed tone for a pure signal. This is

I then removed all 8 batteries and checked their voltage (no load, just with an old Simpson VOM) and 4 batteries measured 1.2 V and the other 4 were at 0.0 V. I am not sure why they would be different, nor do I understand the BATT ERROR message. [Others have explained BATT ERROR.] It
