If you are using AFSK, it's best to stick with the standard 2125
frequency, so the second harmonic is outside the 2.7 Khz audio
passband. With FSK, you can go lower. My ears like the sound of
915 Hz.

Rose Kopp makes an excellent storage and travel bag for the KX3 in a couple of

I have one made to hold the KX3, PX3, and KXPA100. I don't have the amp, so I

Current thinking is to use a fairly wide filter for RTTY. The
software filters that are applied in the sound card are much
narrower, about 50 Hz wide. Lately I've been using the 2.7 KHz
roofing filter, with DSP bandwidth set to about 600 Hz.

I use a Pelican box - the same type I keep my Dive Computers in. It is fully
waterproof - has a pressure equalisation plug - and built to last. Not the
cheapest option - but one I feel comfortable with.

Seems like a nice blend of physical controls and screen controls. But
until such a rig is possible for under $3k I'll be running the 'old' K3.
I like the onboard p/s also; haven't had one of those since the TenTec

Hello to the group. I just put my new K3s/100 into service, and have a
question about the Mark frequency to use with AFSK. Before the K3s, I
used a SignaLink with my KX3 and MMTTY. With that setup, I set MMTTY to
use 915 Hz for the Mark frequency, and everything worked fine.

Any recommendations on a carry case for a KX3 that would have space for
accessories i.e. Connectors, mic etc.. Also to serve as a storage case when the
KX3 isn't in use.
Thanks,

I took it that the poster was saying that a direct (via wire) connection

While Don's advice is perfect for small components (DIPs, resistor,
capacitors, etc.) large parts like relays can be problematical to cut into
bits, although it can be done.
For those parts I prefer a solder sucker (or wick with added flux - dipping
the wick in liquid flux just before use does

Since I no longer have a K2, I’m only taking a WAG here, but would this not be
a good candidate for Chip Quick? I used it to pull an SMD IC off a board a few

I was actually thinking just that - just use my soldering iron and finish

I would try pliers first, but watch the process as you apply pressure.
It may assist if you damage the case more with your soldering iron (melt
more of the plastic) until you can get an Exacto knife edge into it to
help with the process.
As I said, use any tool that works - just be

Ah yes, thanks for that reminder. If it comes to that, is there a good way to
smush a latching relay body without dangerously ripping the pins out of the
board? I worry that crushing it with say a pair of pliers could stress the
through-holes in the board. Or is it just not that strong?
Thanks,
yes, that's what I'm trying to say - I'd rather the old waterfall bits track
the new waterfall so the lines don't slant. You can see that in the video for
the new MB1 transceiver, and that behavior makes more sense to me, or at least
appeals to my sense of aesthetics. Bob W3DK

you're gonna make me turn it on, aren't you. Fix-Track mode, where the
spectrum moves when you tune the radio. The waterfall that's already fell stays
where it is and the new waterfall line moves with the spectrum. I think it'd be
better If the whole waterfall moved with the spectrum. Bob

Interesting, but I would have the following concerns just right off the bat:

The K2 can be configured to use several different microphones.
You will have to examine the microphone configuration header on the back
of the front panel to determine which microphone that K2 is set up to

microphones.
