Update:
With one-quarter of one leg of the dipole still under ice, I got a
reception report from PSKReporter on FT8 with 2 watts to Italy. That
shouldn't work, should it? Maybe the ice doesn't matter?
KD5VXH recalled a discussion in QST on this very subject, where 400W AM

Doug,
I don't have my KX3 connected but I'm pretty sure it works the same as the
K3 and that is that the MON levels are separate for SSB and CW Sidetone. So
make sure you are in SSB mode and Hold the MON button to advance the gain
higher than 0. Give that a try.

Will the K4 panadapter be able to show the position of the manual notch? It
could be displayed as a different color background similar to how the receive
filter is shown on the P3. It would be a very useful feature.

Gentlemen,
There seems to have been ambiguity in my note concerning the operational
condition of my K3 (#3271). Clarifying the issue:
For 10 meters my K3 neither transmits nor receives. All other bands are fully
functional.
Any serious suggestions?.

Certainly a good idea, added to the list for consideration.
Thanks,

Is the display dead? If not when you tune does the frequency reading change?
If you transmit does the red panel light come on?
We need more info than it doesn't work.

John,
Is there any chance that you tuned the VFO from another band (maybe 12
meters) into the 10 meter band? Try a Direct Frequency Entry into the
10 meter band and see if it comes back.

Snow and/or natural ice that fell from the sky is barely conductive if

Hi Mike,
While its true that snow and ice are transparent to HF, its also true that
they affect antenna performance by dielectric loading of the antenna

Dear Folks:
I have a question about use of the Notch filter on my K3s. I am
primarily a CW operator. I understand that, in CW mode, the notch
filter's operation is manual, and you tune (adjust?) the filter using
the VFO B knob (admittedly, I've not tried it in USB or LSB mode, where
