the KX3-2M would not have to run full power. The 80w RF module that

While I don't doubt that you're successfully using these, I previously
looked into these supplies and find the claim that they are made in
California to be highly questionable. At the least, I don't see where
the products are marked "Made in USA" nor does it say this anywhere that
I can find
Thanks Jim... I was going to try one of those to test the claims
made... Even had someone offer to pay me my cost +$10 if I decided I
didn't want it after testing...
The business owner claims they are "quiet" and says there are
"counterfeits" being passed off as "his" power supplies.

On the recommendation of someone on this list, about a year ago I bought
one of the 350-12 units. It came with no documentation, and no
certification of compliance with anything. It is VERY NOISY, and nothing

Not difficult to power, at all. Just buy two of these 50 amp units and run
them in parallel. I've personally tested these in my shack and they work
great. No RF hash visible on the panadapter on any band that I run. And
they're made right here in California:

I have a 2M amp about 80 watts from Edward R Cole, KL6UW. I
drive it with my 5W HT. It seems to work well, although I just
got it working a month or so ago and have been away most of the
time since. Note that Ed will set it up for the drive level you need.
Pluses: Solidly built. Automatic T/R
My TE Systems 1452G amp puts out a tad under 400 watts with 4 watts drive.

True. However if you have a KRX3, CW Skimmer can use VFOA for TX/RX pileup
and VFOB for RX DX frequency *without any other program needed*. Since

Sorry, I was thinking of the KX2 which always has the IF shift enabled.
In a KX3, the center of the IQ stream is approximately the dial setting.
I say approximately because some modes (AM, FM) or submodes (narrow SSB

If you want to point and click to EXACT frequencies, I recommend CW Skimmer
with LP-PAN. Skimmer is the only SDR program I'm aware of that calculates
exact frequencies for its decoder dots. When properly set up
NAP3 + Softrock IF + built-in stereo line in (96kHz samplerate) is best
bang for the buck if you want to see the band, point & click and solid
integration with K3 and other software.
The combo here is:
- software: N1MM logger + NAP3 + LP-bridge
- hardware: Softrock-IF, built-in soundcard on 5
Same exact issue here. The P3 screen also became slow to refresh, like once
every 5 seconds. Turn K3 and P3 off/on solved the issue. This only happened
after a screen capture.

I had this issue also. The “0” reading appeared after making and saving a
couple of screen captures. Recycling the power on the P3 did not correct.
Closing the “COMM PORT” and reopening did correct it. I have had other issues
with this connection to the P3 through the K3S USB connection.
Also be aware that many PC's ( especially laptops) do not have stereo line
-in jacks. There is an excellent program written for the BeagleBone Black
that does a Panadapter for the KX3. You can find it here.

Push on the cable (not the hood) until you hear a click - or pull back
