Guys, don't let SMT parts intimidate you. With a little practice it
isn't difficult. Especially if you know how to make a good solder joint
on a through hole part The hardest part is getting magnification.
There are some very affordable stereo microscopes available, you will
probably want 20x
Actually there is a much simpler way to do this using linear 3 pin
regulators. Take a fictional regulator that has a fixed output voltage
of 1V. Assuming you want 15mA through your LEDs, make sure the output
current of the voltage regulator is 15mA by placing a 67 Ohm resistor
from the output
Don't forget that you will have to send your call sign every 10 minutes,
and at the start and end of your QSO with your router.

There is also no harm in using IQ. If you are jumping from digital to
ssb you may not want to be continuously plugging and unplugging any more
cables than necessary.

Hello,
Last night I was trying to use my KX3 with 2M module to decode weather
satellite images. I have been working at this for a while now with very
limited success. I am using Gnome predict to find the satellites and
control the radio using rigctld. I am using xwxtoimg to decode the

It is likely a RS232 speed issue like Dick Dievendorff said. Something
else you may want to do is change the KX3 baud rate to match the
KXPA100. The KXPA100 doesn't care what the baud rate of the KX3 is and
will auto detect it. This way you will be able to seamlessly use the
KX3 by itself if
My advice would be to set the comm speed of the KX3 to 38400 as well,
that way you can seamlessly use the KX3 when the amp is off or not
connected. The amp will autodetect the new speed for the KX3 and you
will not have to change anything else.

I keep mine on their lowest settings too, wish they would go lower from

I don't want to cause excessive topic drift here, but I really
appreciate the various simple options that the KX3 provides. If I want
to do digital, there is the IQ output. If I want to do ssb, there is
mic input. If I want computer control or to update the firmware there
is an RS232 input. I
On the topic of sound cards, I was wondering what the advantages are to
using the IQ output of the KX3 as opposed to feeding the headphone jack
into the input of the soundcard? I believe the IQ output requires
stereo input to work, but what are the advantages? I have seen on this
list quite a
I would find a KX3 utility program targeting the Pi to be helpful too.
I would find it especially helpful if the KX3 utility was made open
source, then we could compile it for any platform we wish. Plus, I
could take care of a certain, irksome programming error...

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any particular reason the default BAUD rates
for the KX3 and KXPA100 are different. Does the amp need a higher baud
rate than the KX3? Can I set the KX3 to use the same baud rate as the
amp? The reason I would like to do this is I only occasionally have the
It is interesting that you mention this, I am quite a ways into a
similar project. I have a Pi3 connected to a 7" touch screen display.

Hello All,
Please excuse the amateurishness of this question, but could you get one
of these whips for a low band such as 40M and use it on say 20M if you
don't extend it fully?

It would actually be nice to be able to lock out any arbitrary control.
I keep accidentally adjusting MIC gain. Be nice to turn off the ability
to adjust it in the menu until I want to do so more deliberately than
the "random tweaks" I keep giving it :)

I would think that just a simple blue ESD mat, and a wrist strap, on
your favorite workbench is more than sufficient for any home based hobby
operation. If you really wanted to be thorough about it a warm mist

Try rebooting any network access hardware you have, such as cable
modems, routers, switches, etc. I had a similar issue the other day
except that I couldn't get to fox news and a few other sites I visit
regularly. Ended up rebooting the cable modem and wireless switch.
Everything worked as
Mine does that as well. I have found two solutions. The first and
easiest is to turn off the mic button. In the menu settings MIC BTN
change from UP.dn to off, then turn on VOX, just to the left of VFO A
tuning knob. The other solution which is a little more elegant is to
tell your JT65
to see the frequency I am using on the waterfall display.

their baud rates set to that value. secondly, the postwrite

it to 25mS. It is all working great now.
