If you want RX IN/OUT, you need a KXV3. It's wr
I'm trying to clear up some confusion on my part and maybe I've missed
something in the manual.
I am looking at a picture of the rear panel of the K3 and I see a sub-panel
with rx ant in/out, xvtr in/out and IF out. Are these connectors only
available if the KXV3 is ordered? What about if the

Continuing our discussion on measuring RF inductors, I tested an

I too built my K2 # 5422, 2 months ago. It had been

Tools you will want to acquire:
- good SMALL flush-cutting cutters
- Kester lower-rosin SOLDER, like SN63PB37
- hand Magnifying Glass
- "Solder Sucker" too

I have the dummy load in ANT1 of my KPA100, and the real ant
and other electronics suppliers are now selling these for a few
