Ummm ... I guess it depends on exactly what you do. I worked for a
defense contractor for quite awhile, "When you were done with it ...
shred it." One young fellow still had his dog tags on the chain around
his neck. Fortunately they gagged the shredder before the chain
strangled him.

Has anyone tried the little inexpensive 45 watt amplifiers out of China
being sold on ebay with their KX3. I built a BPF for an old Palomar amp but
it doesn't seem to work well at all for some reason.

Wayne, my favorite go to band has been 17 meters. I originally did Ped mobile
with the FT817 and since there was no specific antenna, portable for that band
at the time I used a Maldol AH-c14 with one length at the tip shortened
dragging an 11' counterpoise. It is what I now use for the KX2.

Hi Doug,
Congrats on your good showing in the contest. I worked several while walking
and had a nice view from the top of the hill.
In my tests, the MFJ whip could handle a lot more power than the Maldol. The
Maldol faded after 20 or 30 seconds at 10 watts, as indicated by the SWR

Hi! I got the below advice which worked for me: For WSJT-X and the K3S use:
Mode = DATA Data sub-mode = DATA A MENU:MIC SEL = Line IN Make sure nothing is
plugged into the "LINE IN" jack. Set the PWR slider in WSJT-X to the top, click
Tune and adjust the K3 MIC GAIN for *four bars* of ALC. Adjus
The solution to that is to go into Windows (assuming that is what you are
using) and shut off all internally generated sound.
I can run up to the K3 max of 100 wpm with no stutter, with the sound disabled.

One way would be to use a separate amplifier and speaker connected to LINE-OUT.
Then it would be independent of AF gain.
TNX for the Qs!

If you enjoy mixing astronomical sightings and amateur radio you could
try timing occultations or the total solar eclipse coming this August.
Stay in touch with the other folks along your path of occultation and
find which of you caught the best graze angle. Timing a bright star is
easily done
Yup. The syn upgrade is an awesome mod. 73, Guy K2AV

Jorge,
One method I can think of is to use an external speaker with a variable
resistor in series.
The other way is to use amplified (computer) speakers which can usually
be turned down in volume.
The 3rd alternative is to use more sensitive headphones.

Is anyone else going out for the eclipse and joining in the propagation study?
I will be in Casper, Wy. with the KX2 and a buddistick and beaconing for the

I thought the QRQ timing issues were fixed with the new K3 synthesizer.
QRQ mode went to off when RIT was on because the synthesizer couldn't
settle fast enough. That may still be true regardless of synthesizer.
