Haven't gotten there yet, but I would love a BuddiPole. But heck, I think
people have just thrown long wires up over a big tree and done well with a
tuner. Infinite possibilities.

Thank you

OK, I've searched the archives and apparently FLRIG will control the KX3 from a
Windows machine but I can't get it to work on my Mac. KX3 Utility talks to it
through the KXUSB cable, but I get nothing with FLRIG. Anybody had it work on a
Mac?

Scott,
Yes, the emitter DC voltage at Q5 is higher than it should be - normal
is in the range of 2.0 to 2.4 volts depending on whether the KX1 Power
Mod has been installed or not (do not install it until you have verified
some reasonable power output).
I would suggest you check the soldering
Be Carfull you really should have four bars and fifth blinking if its
below that you can get some strange fluctuations on the output power.
so a compromise between programs is not the best idea. When the K3 is in
DATA A mode the mic gain will adjust the level for the line in so

Hi all,
I'm working on getting KX1 2846 up and running and have run into an issue
with the transmit testing. I get zero power output into a 50 ohm dummy
load. As it is right now, it is built only as the 20/40 meter with no ATU
installed (the base kit).
I have run through the troubleshooting tab

I will sell for $275 including USPS shipping to CONUS.
Will be shipped in original packaging.

John - thanks - that hit the nail on the head for me. The setting I had on my
external audio card’s output control was sufficient given the K3’s Mic level
that I was using with cocoaModem and WSJT-X. However, as you pointed out, it
was not sufficient enough for FLDIGI to “tickle” the K3. So - I

At the recommendation of others, I just ordered a TASCAM US-125M from

get back from my Thanksgiving travels.
I look forward to working everyone fur
The same thing happens in my setup, if the audio level from the sound
card to the K3 is too low. Nothing will appear in the ALC window, no
matter how high I turn up the mic gain. Once establishing a minimum
audio level, the ALC will show four bars with the fifth flickering at a
mic level of 7
Good evening /bonsoir Paul, Olli, Wayne and All,
Thank you for your comments. Here, output power is the same using
internal batteries or external 13.8V in FM or SSB; here, I can perform
precise power measurements up to 24 GHz. Thanks in anticipation, Wayne,
for power improvement to come Ma
Hi david - thanks for the reply to my post.
Unfortunately, no improvement. I have everything set exactly as you suggest (it
was already that way) and the result is the same. I type in some text, press
T/R and: the K3 goes into transmit mode, RF flows out the radio to the antenna,
but no ALC ind
Before investing in a SAL you may want to look at the "new" design that the
designer had been working on, better specs and uses a lot of the same
hardware etc. uses square loops instead of triangles, info and
schematic found on the

Based on theoretical considerations, a 4 element square array of

Hi Doug,
I have talked with several hams using the K9AY. Apparently it is somewhat
ground dependent, and thus results are all over the board. I don't have any

I just posted a similar question on the Topband and Ham Antenna reflectors.
I am considering the same antennas for my QTH and adding a second receiver
to the K3.
I find that I am RX limited compared to signal reports that I get that are
not just the 59 contest mode. So for me this will be a
Anybody using WSPR FMT option with the K3.
I'd like to look at the calibration curve results you got. Mine show
band to band variations that can't be nicely fitted to a small deviation
straight line. Don't know if this is my rig or a characteristic of the K3.

Hi all,
Many tanks to all who responded, after disabling VFO NR, the problem went
away! Thanks VK2RQ for the pointer.
I tried it out while listening to the LZ contest on 15m today, tuning
across the many contest stations in CW sounds so much better with VFO NR
OFF compared to VFO NR ON, the latter
Keying on the other transverter bands is fine, it's just the KX3-2m module.
Thanks to all,
