All you say rings true. I've never been a fan of
the error-correcting modes because they tend to
slow things down; my digi mode of choice is PSK31.
The diversity of the hobby is one of its marvels
and accounts for me to its staying power: Some
years I operate more and some years I build more,
Same here, Fred -- In August 1953 on 80 CW with my
(necessarily rock-bound) 6AG7-6L6 transmitter and
a SWBC table model receiver with BFO added. My
first was 3 miles away and we went to the same
high school (of 2500) and had never met, but
became close friends. Such things were really

I'd physically disconnect the KXPA100 so you have
only a KX3 to deal with -- just the KX3 and a mic
and an antenna for SSB. If the problem persists go
into the menu and look at every setting carefully.
It could be something there.

Perhaps read voltages in manual and compare to
what you measure. Note the conditions under which
those voltages were measured.

Computers have sure complicated our hobby, Jim.
Never such issues with my good, old K2. So far
I've not ventured into that realm with my K3 nor
KX3, except for the Elecraft utilities. But my day
of computer grief will soon come, I'm sure ;-)

Jeff,
Any tips/issues using the CM500 on the K3? I
unpackaged mine yesterday and have it working with
the KX3 so I'm not expecting problems. Are you
doing PTT or VOX, and if PTT how implemented?

I'm not Jeff, but it's real simple. Plug mic and

I'd check the KSB2. How well are the xtals
grounded (solder joints and such)? Were any
problems introduced while installing the crystals?
etc. KSB2 is a pretty compact board so easy to
introduce solder bridges and such.
If you did mods to the K2 before adding the KPA100
did you use it QRP
It sounds like a bear, Jason. But I know you'll
find it eventually, especially with input from Don
W. and Co.
I still think the SSB board is the likely culprit.
But did you do any other mods at that time, like
the A to B mod set? Good to look in those areas
too, if you did. I've done *most*
I suppose they could install a two-button push for
power, as on the KX3, but that would bring other
complaints, I reckon -- since some KX3 users don't
like that approach -- or so I've read here.

I noticed something similar last night when doing

At temp of 45 deg or thereabouts the tone started
back up. But it didn't rapidly shift or do
anything bizarre, just increased slowly as the
temp went to 52 deg.
Mine didn't do anything so wavering as yours and
it changed at a higher temp. So I wouldn't expect
to see much effect while operating, since it was
at high temps, above 42C.
My concern is if the calibration is off. If it was
a simple linear fit then it could be. If a table
look up or more
arises.
I suspect the thermal conditions will stay pretty
benign in CW and SSB modes.

At this point I wouldn't characterize my
experience as a concern. So far as I can tell the
calibration worked well, though I was surprised to
see the tone vs. temp behavior above about 45
deg-C. My impression is that the calibration is
done with a table, so such nonlinear behavior
should not
Reading the document on this, I get the impression
that the procedure is done wholly within the KX3,
because in the latter post-refrigerator part it
says If the KX3 is connected to a PC running KX3
Utility, data will be sent to the Command Tester
screen. implying the connection to KX3 Utility
Thanks, Olli. Starting it now.
