Oops, pressed enter too soon. I neglected to mention that the only additional board I have in the KX3 is the antenna tuner, I do not keep batteries in it, and the serial number is #150, so a rather early model. I was unable to find anything in the KX3 manual about the SWR meter, but I recall

John, I do have a horse in this race (the Kx33), but I will tell you that in testing many supplies I have seen that many of them have poor regulation. Some show as much as 25% peak over-voltage which you would need a scope to see when a load is removed, which is the situation when the KX3 re

I know this may be a nit but it would be neat if the VFO B knob would increment without rounding off the frequency. For instance, I participate in the foxhunts and find the fox. Then I use the DW SUB function and dial in the fox with the VFO A knob. If I use the VFO B knob it rounds off the deci

Not direct sampling if by that you mean an ADC at the antenna. The KX3 downconverts the signals to baseband (audio range) with a pair of mixers that are operated 90 degrees out of phase, then converts the resulting mixer outputs to digital, then processes the digital signals for demodulation,

Me too. In find that the "NEW QSK" is the same as the "OLD QSK" with a slight delay. It's better to turn down the RF gain if you get too much "popping" sound in your audio. 73 de Hal/LA4XX On 16-03-02 17:47, Ray W2RS via Elecraft wrote: > > The KX3 "NEW QSK" mode may be better on whatever noi
