Hi all,
I'm activating the Pennzoil 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway usingrhe
Elecraft KX3 and KXPA100. I'll mostly be around 14.6mhz for a few hours

Assuming you're using the Elecraft mic with the up/down buttons - turn the
buttons off in the radio settings. There is a known and reported bug in
both the KX3 and KX2 that has never been fixed that causes this problem.

I got tired of waiting for special subtraction NR and decided to do
something about the lousy K4 NR on SSB. I bought the BHI Dual Inline NR
module and the results are impressive. I will publish a video soon. Anyone
who says that better NR won't help you make more weak signal contacts,
especially if
Yes, of course. Works fine.

I tried one of these (probably not the same brand) several years ago in
conjunction with a mini-notebook for doing digital modes in the field. It
produced horrible RFI for me so I eventually gave it away. I guess it's a
YMMV type of deal.

I actually tried tape at first and wasn't as happy with the results.
Removing a bit of the case material seems to solve the root of the problem
rather than just deal with the effects.

Inspired by the KX3 yahoo group discussion yesterday on the source of the
speaker buzz in the KX3, I decided to try it out. Here are my results with

ANF is the common use abbreviation for Auto Notch Filter. A lot of rigs
use that nomenclature.
The K3's ANF on SSB has not worked correctly IMO for several firmware
releases. Someone posted a fix a while back that involved resetting back

My K3 thumps the powered external speakers pretty good when I turn it
on/off using the power switch on the front of the rig.

There are quite a few D-STAR repeaters and hot spots on the air that are

Today I got to play with Serial No. 6 KX3. While I didn't have as much
time as I wished, I was able to familiarize myself with it's operation,
controls and overall design. My initial impressions are posted at:

I've noticed and observed this exact same thing while using MixW or DM780.
The auto notch doesn't kill the desired signal like it should - it appears
that it's "missing" on either side of the signal. The manual notch works
as it should.
