Re: [Elecraft] software

Mark, I use Win4k3 with HRD and CW Skimmer. This collection integrate very smoothly and allows me a fair amount of flexibility. I can do RTTY, CW, or PSK using the radio's inherent capability using the terminal window of Win4k3. For contesting, I swap out HRD for N1MM contest S/W. 73, Barr

Re: [Elecraft] Portable power - goal zero?

Mark, I use a Sherpa100. Good pack, but the output voltage goes under 12V way before the pack is empty, so the KX3 will not let you use full power after a while. The KXPA100 is not as picky, so you can easily run a KXPA100 at 50W on the Sherpa100 until the end of the pack's power. It's a prett

[Elecraft] Portable power - goal zero?

Hello everyone, I have some questions related to running the KX-3 in the field on portable power. I read through a number of threads on this site and if I understand correctly the KX-3 generally favors a high voltage feed. I am wondering if anyone is using Goal Zero system for their portable ope

Re: [Elecraft] software

Hi Mark, I have used MLDX with my KX3 in the past and it worked very well. I also have a K3/P3/KAT500/KPA500 that I use MLDX with. However, I got spoiled by that dang P3 and wanted something like it for the KX3! This was before Elecraft announced the PX3. So, I downloaded and installed a copy
