Bill,
I suspect it has more to do with the default reply nature of the group, in
that replies are sent straight back to the originator of the message rather
than to the group itself. It's not typical of the way that groups tend to
be set up these days and so catches us all out from time to time!
Skip,
I can hear no difference on FM between the K3 and the KX3. 1uV from the
XG3 on 50.120 MHz gives much the same level of smooth noise from both
radios. My KX3 is #434 so yours is not an 'age' issue, there must be
something else wrong.

It took some finding on the Elecraft site and in the end I had to use the
site's search tool, but the information (and more besides) is at

I agree that something so important should be in the main manual.

The latest firmware for the KX3 has completely transformed operation of the
internal speaker - an amazing improvement!

I wholeheartedly agree with Joe, such a change would completely remove the
value of the feature.

I get just the same, I believe it is the built in preamp clicking in and
out. However, it does seem to do it more often that it used to, but that
could be my imagination!

It took me three attempts, failing on the SVGA load the first two times,
even after switching both K3 and P3 off and then on.
I don't know whether this is significant but I had the SVGA disabled (I
have no monitor connected at the moment) the first two times but then
decided to turn it back on and
Hi John,
That confirms what I thought. I don't want toggle as the vox may already
be on and implementation of the macro would only serve to switch it off
again. What I am doing within the control software is setting up one

I am setting up macros in Rumlog, and one I want to do, associated with
data modes, is to set VOX on, whatever the current state of VOX. I can use
SWH09 but all that does is toggle the function so that if the VOX is
already on, sending that command would turn it off. I suppose I am looking

I have not noticed this before, and I often reduce the span down to 5kHz or
so when I am calling a DX station spilt. On both the P3 and the external
1024x768 monitor, instead of a nice smooth waterfall, it is jerky in its

I've had absolutely no issues with my P3 and a 2m ssb transceiver just
inches from it. This will doubtless be the exception rather than the
rule. There must be something not quite right somewhere.
