Hi folks, My PX3 is up and running! The manual was a delight to follow, and everything went together swimmingly. Thanks for all the tips -- I had everything small neatly laid out in an egg carton, and assembling this was probably the most peaceful hour of my day. Here is a lousy phone picture of

Hi Guys,  My KPA-1500 is having an issue: with the internal ATU tuned "OFF" or in "ByPass" mode, when transmitting the KPA-1500's relays occassionally chatter like a machine gun while transmitting.  It sounds just like the relays do when the ATU is turned "ON" and it's tuning an antenna for mini

I think it will still remember the last used even in a dumb situation without knowledge from the radio; it just needs the radio support

Re: [Elecraft] PX3 kit tips?

Just follow the instructions.? You will need a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Are you sure that's Phillips? I use Pozidriv (PZ0) for Elecraft screws and find that is a much better fit. (Either will work, but if you have one of those 100+ screw sets and have the choice - consider PZ over PH scre
