Good morning,
The KX3 has a nice Dual Watch feature. It is however, of limited use when the
DX is weak and the callers are strong (a common case here).
To overcome this problem I have build a simple two channels audio amplifier
with 2 LM380N (Manhattan style) with independent volumn controls.
I
Dave,
I don't know how you are hearing both VFO frequencies at the same time
with only SPLIT engaged (unless you have Dual Watch turned on at the
same time).
With split (and not Dual Watch), you have VFO A in both ears. If you
use the REV button, you can hear on the VFO B frequency (again i
Hi Dave -
When I'm trying to get a DX station that is working split or during the QRP Fox
hunts, I use Dual Watch and Split together. Before engaging, I tune in the
"target" station to suit my hearing pitch preference, then I press A-->B twice
to get both VFO's equal. Next I hit Split and then
Hello folks,
Newbie Dave, K6WDE/KH6 with my Elecraft KX3.
Question: Dual Watch versus Split Mode, which is best? Is is personal
preference? Yes, I did read the Elecraft Operating Note - Working a Pile-Up
using the Dual Watch feature on the KX3 article. I am still confused though.
As I understan
No way to do this at present, Andreas. However, you might try setting the AGC
threshold to 4, which will flatten large signals more in relation to weak ones.

:-)
Is there a way to balance the audio between the two VFO’s when using Dual
Watch? I often have the problem that the DX is really weak and the pile up is
really loud.
On the K3 there is an audio mixer control which

With VE&CC pgm
if you click on a spot which has a split info entered in the comment field
in VE7CC the K3 will change VFO A to the spotted frequency

I agree and wanted to mention that you can choose any telnet cluster in the
Configuration-->Cluster (Telnet) list. I prefer a node that uses VE7CC's
node software, CC Cluster. Telnet clusters are much more configurable than
web clusters and send spots real-time rather that at pre-set intervals.
Thanks Wayne! I can't wait to get my hands on the radio.
I like to use DX Summit: http://www.dxsummit.fi/DxSpots.aspx

You can look at spots per band, do pointed or general searches, etc.

Wayne,
Well done! Dual watch has been a limitation of
smaller rigs for a long time - that is until now
Here is a list of DX clusters. Pick the one that is
closest to your QTH. Remember the "W's" are at the bottom
of the list.

Here are a couple of sites that I find helpful, both filtering for

Wayne, the gold standard spotting setup is the VE7CC program. Go to
his website and download his application. It is a cluster clien

There's one nice thing about late hardware: the firmware gets better.
Lyle and I just added Dual Watch to the KX3, which works amazingly
well. At present the VFOs can be separated by up to 15 kHz, but in
theory we can go to 30 kHz with the present DSP implementation.
Now I'm looking for my fi
