Greetings fellow Elecrafters. After seeing the photo and short article (pg 76)
in the recent issue of QST where W5RZ and WB5JJJ made several DX EME QSOs
during a NPOA excursion, I'm a little curious about it. Many moons ago I used a
Yaesu FT-736R and operated 144/432 MHz satellite modes. I used
The KX3 already supports DTMF (see owner's manual). It's on the wish-list for
the K3/K3S.

Hi Phil,
The only recommended charger for the KX2 is the one that is designed
specifically for it. That's the KXBT2. Anything else might come with some risk.
See the detailed information that comes with the battery (or charger).
Maybe we need to make the need for the matching charger clearer o
…unless you are digging weak signals out of the moon using it as an IF rig.
Never such as thing as too much performance in an IF rig. I can see why EME-ers
just want a little bit more. One of my Elmers, Al, W0PUF and I participated in
the 1995 ARRL EME Contest with a Scientific Atlanta 10m dish
Joel,
Mirror images normally mean that only one channel of the I/Q outputs are
being received by the PX3. Make certain the RX I/Q cables are fully
plugged in (both ends).
So rather than "holding your mouth right", try "holding your fingers
right" to fully insert the plugs.
Start over with t
Please check that ALL connectors are plugged in ALL the way.

I recently acquired a used PX3 and am quite pleased with it. I am, however,
having a difficult time with the carrier null procedure. If memory serves, I
had a problem trying to do the carrier null on an SDR I built five or six years
ago too.
I never could quite get the signal generator in the P

What Don, W3FPR, Stated is the correct way to handle the power on/off

very risky and reloading the firmware and configuration files remotely

For what seemingly is a relatively small number of FM users, DTMF tones are
easily achieved with a DTMF pad-equipped microphone, and that would seem to
be much better than complicating the already "busy" push-button operation.
I'm probably missing something .

Hi, Phil --
Well, you could buy the charger -- and operate off
an external supply (like some battery, even!)
while you wait for it ;-)

Not ordering a charger from Elecraft is an oversight, easily corrected. Ripping
out protection circuitry from a Li Ion battery is a bonehead mistake :-)

Many thanks, Joe and Don, for that useful information which I shall keep
in mind. I would, however, like to continue using my D104 microphone
with which I receive outstanding good quality reports.

Some better news, actual a lot better news, after reviewing my test setup, I
discovered that my SDR was overloaded, and the products at 20 kHz either side
on SSB were IMD in the SDR, they vanished by using less gain in the SDR. The
other spikes which contain no modulation are about 76 dB down on

Hi
It not like me if I do not make a suggestion. or complain.
This radio has every thing you want in the field.
The most important spot for this radio is on a tap of a half barrel on
Field Day. Any have an attachment for this?
Cheers!

I agree with Joe, but there is a typo - the brown wire should end up on

Are you using the MicroHAM K3 cables? Did you set the internal jumpers
inside the DigiKeyerII? You need to set the radio baud and the router
baud to the same setting. I use 38,400. The frequency should display in
the router software, if not it will not show up in N1MM either.

A few weeks ago another ham in this list asked if anyone else had noticed a bug
with the way that the KX3 handles VOX when the TX Noise gate is set to ON. With
any gate level more than 00 the VOX delay setting is ignored and the VOX drops
out immediately.
I checked with my KX3 and indeed that
Do you know whether there is any progress on this, Lyle? I have been
struggling with a handheld DTMF device, held close to the K3 microphone
for years! It is somewhat cumbersome and I look forward to the long
awaited DTMF feature on the K3 which I think has been on the software
list for years.
Michael,
Did you hear back from Elecraft on the noise Gate VOX delay bug?
