I noticed during a recent CW contest that my computer-generated CW was not QSK (key jack in the rear) but the internal CW Keyer (paddle) was.  I have the rig set for QSK.  I could swear that in previous contests the QSK was consistent.  I must be missing something?   Tom, K4IE _

Anybody else having issues with non-linear oscillator changes around 40C? I've done the extended temp calibration 3 times (each time takes about 2 hours), and someplace between 38C and 42C the calibration goes crazy. Up to that point as the temperature gradually increases the tone shifts lower.

You probably have your contest program set up to assert PTT. There will be a connection from the computer to the PTT jack on the rig (K3?). Either unplug it or tell your contest program not to assert PTT. On 3/18/2014 7:33 AM, Tom Fitzpatrick wrote: I noticed during a recent CW contest that my

Glad to know I wasn't the only one. In my case the issue around 38 to 42C is a big deal because that is where the PA sits when running JT65. So it makes that mode unusable. If the odd break didn't happen until 52C I'd be all set. And it was definitely hopping all over the place (sometimes risin

Mine didn't do anything so "wavering" as yours and it changed at a higher temp. So I wouldn't expect to see much effect while operating, since it was at high temps, above 42C. My concern is if the calibration is off. If it was a simple linear fit then it could be. If a table look up or more

This isn't a problem with the KX3's SWR detection circuitry. If it is detecting a high SWR, it's because the KX3 is producing RF output before the t/r relay has closed and the relay is hot-switching. The SWR detection is doing its job and protecting the KX3 and the amplifier! The solution is e
