JTx is no different than any other soundcard data mode.

Set the audio input to the KX3 so you have 4 bars solid on the ALC meter
with the 5th bar flashing. Once you have the audio level set, leave it
that way.

Note that the date on that application note was before the K60XV was

Also not the first paragraph which states that this is only for

HI Jim,
I use my KX3 for JT65, JT9, MSK144, and WSPR (in addition to PSK31 and lots of
CW) - all the settings are the same on the KX3, other than the power output,
which I change to meet band conditions. On WSPR I usually run it at 2 watts;
MSK144 on 6 meters it runs 100 watts with the KXPA100.
Tnx, Jim

In a synthesized VFO rig like the K3S, any tendency to "chirp" is almost always

Hi,
My remarks to bulleted items below:
1) Sounds good.
2) Where are these voltages measured? If they are measured outside the K3
with an accurate DVM, I would say they are marginal. If so, raise the key up
voltage to 14.2V. If they are measured by the K3S' internal voltmeter they
might be OK.

"Broccoli Bands" - the wide rubber bands many grocers use to hold bunches of
veggies like broccoli together - were very popular on the K2 knob and worked
very, very well.
But they did not seem to be exotic (or expensive) enough for many.

This is not a factor in synthesizer switching. Both the old and new synths
incorporate their own voltage regulators, preserve identical signal integrity
down to a power supply voltage of around 9 VDC. That's about as low as the
radio can go in any case.

The solution for the KX3 and KXPA100 is greatly simplified if you use
the KX3 to KXPA100 adapter cable.
You connect the KXPA100 to the personal computer and the adapter cable
splits out the RS-232 signalling to the KX3. See the connections on
page 14 of the KXPA100 manual. The KX3USB

Many of us would feel a psychological edge if we pushed an amplifier such as
the KPA500 from its rated 500 W to, say, 625 W. It sounds like so much more,
doesn't it? It sure makes us feel better to think that we're louder on the
other end.
