Brought my KX3 on a day hike in Donner Pass (California) today, and fired
it up on a small peak (George R. Stewart Peak) with the AX1 whip and its
counterpoise.
Within 10 minutes, got QSOs over ssb with the state of New York, Florida
and... Bonaire. Pretty cool on a short whip, 10 watts and a bit
Oh yes, I had forgotten bias as well - ptt/bias/updown should definitely
be mode-dependent so that we can disable all those in DATA mode.

Excellent news, Wayne!
If only you could consider making the "Mic Btn" settings mode-dependent,
my life would be complete (or thereabouts). Right now this is the #1
setting I need to change all the time: when using the Mic on SSB I have to
enable "Ptt", and when switching to DATA to connect my

With all the discussion on KX2 IQ output going on, I don't want to muddle
things up even further, but as Mark KE6BB was reminding me earlier, there
is a nice way you can power the PX3 using a standard KX2 battery that I
demonstrated a couple of weeks back:

Just a quick heads up: I have just released Wizkers:Radio 0.1.6, which

Just a heads up, I have just released a new rig controller that
primarily works with the Elecraft KX line KX3, KXPA100 and PX3. If you were
already familiar with Wizkers, this is a Ham-focused version with and

Hi Gary,
I need to set aside some time to finalize it, but I have designed a
fully automatic AlexLoop tuner that is designed to work with the KX3: you
just need to tune to the frequency you want to use, then press the "tune"
button on the KX3 (long press on XMIT), and the Alexloop will find the

On the latest KX3/PX3 firmware, I just noticed that the IQ signal seems
to be reversed on the PX3 on 2m only - the symptom being that the higher
frequencies are displayed on the left of the screen, and the lower
frequencies on the right... Other bands behave correctly.

Very happy to see yet another chrome packaged app coming up! You can

the wheel, it's all already implemented, and all open source (AG
And as a quick follow-up: when my KXPA100 is off - and my understanding
is that when it is off, it is bypassed with a relay - then I get a very
high SWR on my KX3, whereas if I connect my antenna to the KX3 directly,
then I have a great tuning...

A quick question:
I use a KX3 + KXPA100 as my QTH setup.
I recently did work on my QTH antenna, and the SWR indicator on my KX3 now
jumps around a lot when transmitting on digital modes, with peaks up to
2/3. As does the power output. Audio levels are good though, same as usual.
And when look
To add to the small self-supporting thread - loads of great
contributions there, thanks everyone - : I travel a lot for business, and
often carry my KX3 + Alexloop which is pretty much the only kind of antenna
that I know I'll be able to use in urban areas. This setup works really
well: on my

Mark,
I use a Sherpa100. Good pack, but the output voltage goes under 12V way
before the pack is empty, so the KX3 will not let you use full power after
a while. The KXPA100 is not as picky, so you can easily run a KXPA100 at
50W on the Sherpa100 until the end of the pack's power. It's a prett

I tried JT65 for the first time today (there is a first for everything,

Not 100% sure the mailing-list allows images in emails, so I will try to
describe the issue as clearly as possible:
My 2 cents on CWT tuning: I find it usually takes two times to get it to
decode reliably: first time gets close, then pressing CWT a second time a
second later gets it right. Works best if no other PSK signal is around,
otherwise it gets confused...

I use fldigi for all things digital on the Mac, along with RUMLog and of
course my own rig controller (wizkers.io). This way, all software can run
simultaneously and share the rig frequency and control, works really well!

The explanation is that Sanyo and Panasonic merged some time ago, and they

Are you using a rig controller? In my experience, depending on how
'chatty' your rig controller is,
it can interfere with the KX3/KXPA100 init routine. It is certainly the
case with mine (wizkers.io), since it
not only talks to the KX3 but also the KXPA100, every second.
