I used a KPA500 with a Yaesu transceiver and it worked very well just
letting the amp's RF sensor switch bands. I did not use an ALC cable.

Use the "K3 Enhanced cabling" diagram on page 22 but substitute a

If it really IS on your signal and not an issue at the receiving end
[more likely], that sounds like arcing in your antenna/feedline system.
Arcing at 10 W seems strange, but it can be "micro-arcs" inside a poorly
assembled connector. Before tearing anything apart, I'd arrange for a
test or tw

Please help, it must be 78-year-old pilot error.
Using the K3 Utility I programmed CW message 1 with a CQ message.
I programed CW message 2 with 5NN. I then saved both messages.
When I tap Message 1 I get a row of dashes and RX EQ 1 displayed.
When I tap Message 2 I get 10db and ATTEN displayed.
My Eneloop (non-pro) 1900mAh are still going strong almost three years later.
The pros were not available yet when I purchased the KX3.

For those tracking these things. KPA1500 #146 safely arrived yesterday.

Pierre,
You can test the inductors and capacitors using these menu entries. Here’s a
general approach:
1. Connect a dummy load to the antenna jack.
2. Set the KX2 for 40 meters, about 3 watts.
3. With the ATU in BYP (bypass) mode, a TUNE should report SWR of 1.0.
4. Selecting ATU MD = L5, L6
Amen. Second the motion. Get the Eneloops.

I've had good results in a number of applications with any of the
"pre-charged" NiMH.
"pre-charged" is the key. That's the normal marketing-speak for
low-self-discharge.
Eneloops are a very safe bet.

How do they test for actual capacity? The first Q&A on Amazon says these 2800
mAh batteries actually tested as 2000 mAh. That is believable, since they are
about half the cost of the Amazon Basics batteries.

I am a happy Eneloop customer; however, I'm also evaluating - and having a
productive time with - the Bonai brand from Amazon; specifically these.

Specs are advertised as 2800 mAH, low self discharge.

No, the Amazon Basics batteries are not the same as the Eneloop Pro. For one
thing, they are 2400 mAh instead of 2550 mAh. The best bet is that Amazon
Basics batteries are the previous version of Eneloops, made in the old factory.
But that is a guess.
Personally, I’m not interested in saving $1
Thanks for all the suggestions. Batteries ordered and on the way.
Much appreciated!

It's time to initiate the three-month old KX3 into the great outside.
Recommendations for internal batteries appreciated.

Hi ... In the KXAT2 menu, there is an option to check relays: In ATU MD
Modes L1-L7, C1-C7 and Ct are used to test the KXAT2's relays and
L-network. However, I dont see any detailed infos of how to use it and
what results should be expected ??
Any information would be welcome.
Thanks de Pier
