I participated in a local ARES net with my KX3/2M combo and a mirage B-310-G
and B-34-G amps. We were using Olivia 1000/32 using 2M verticals to pass
traffic around the valley and Tucson testing various power levels.
Long story short, these mirage amps work well but the 310 consumes 9 amps

On the Configuration Menu go to CW WGHT SSB-CW. Tapping the 1 key
toggles between SSB+CW, which allows CW to be sent when in SSB Mode and

Hello Peter,
None of these readings are available to me. I am working with Rob Santello who
makes the hampod to try to implement them. I can not read the display.

Hello Gerry,
I did not realize you are visually impaired.
Charles N2SO sent a message as well in a shorter form effectively
telling the same thing. Of course it depends also on the firmware
version on your KX3 whether this setting is available or not.
Is there anyone else with a good idea

Hi Gerry,
The KX1 provides Morse-code interface tones for all controls and the menu.
The KX3 provides a Morse interface for all controls, but not the menu (yet).
We'll be gradually adding menu functions, though the KX3's menu system is far
more extensive and complex than the KX1's, so there's
On 2 meters, heating is divided between the HF power amplifier and the 2-meter
power amplifier. I.F. drive for the 2-meter module is generated by the HF PA,
which must still be biased class AB to ensure low distortion. While the HF PA
is not putting out much power, it is reasonably heavily
Someone played recording of my audio and it sounded a bit harsh. This is K3

microphone or the voice recorder. No harshness without the amp.
Similar harshness with power limited to 500W. I suspected the amp's
nonlinearity. But

Kevin,
On some of the early 2M models the printing on the metal shield was
backwards to that shown in the manual. I made the mistake of
installing my shield per the photo in the manual and got the shield
on backwards which partially shorted the output transistor resulting
in low RF output
I reduce the power to one half, and no change. Also the problem varies from

Hi all.
I don’t have a K3 or 2 metre transverter yet, but I’m hovering and doing my

This info may be available in the specs somewhere, but I’m lazy and it’s
usually quicker to ask.
When operating on 2 metres and perhaps on 70cm, using either the 2M

I would first suspect RF feedback.
What happens if you use only the K3? Connect the K3 to a dummy load and
listen with your KX3. That will tell you more than having someone do a
recording off the air.
If the K3 is clean, then you can conclude it is either the amplifier or

For FM mode transmit tone, the answer is yes. See page 29 of the K3

HOW do you reduce the power? Do you turn down the K3, or do you turn
down the amp?

Is there a reason why you chose 50mhz instead of 28mhz for the IF?
Yes. We use the LO*4 signal from the synthesizer to drive the 2-meter module's
down-conversion mixer, and the math for this puts the I.F. at 48 MHz when R.F.
is 144 MHz. If not for this fortunate result, adding 2 meters to
On the K2, we support CW feedback through the KRC2-ACC. It is a small external
