Thought I said in an early response. 171 confirmed. All but about 20 on CW. 73, Jim K9YC

I have not tried specifically the MFJ combiner (and don’t forget you’ll also need the splitter for the inputs) but I used the W6PQL splitter/combiner units for 4 years. Worked fine. Ken

Jim - How about 160? 73 Lyn, W0LEN

I do OK to AF on both bands, primarily because it's not a polar path. I have 231 on 80M, 279 on 40M. 73, Jim K9YC

Jim - OK, that makes sense. I'm looking at my contacts with both South Africa and New Zealand/Australia. All are in the 8000-9500 mile range. I have zero contacts in South Africa on 160 OR 80

Has anyone tried the MFJ ACB-1000 combiner with a pair of KPA500's? TNX, Jeff / K1ZN

Len, The obstacles are 1) the 5.500-6,000 path over the pole to EU; 2) ground conductivity is pretty low; 3) terrain -- I'm 200 ft below the top of a ridge on the slope away from EU; 4) RX noise on

Lyn, Having lived in Northern Calif and now in Colorado the propagation from further west than Illinois where you live, is a big factor. Nevertheless, there are mysteries in 160M propagation.  A

Hi Burt, I'm not the moderator on this list and while it's true the moderator might have misspelled your name, maybe.....it's also true you can quite easily fix this yourself by logging into

Jim - I figured it would be an impressive assortment of 160m antennas, and you don't disappoint. With all that going for you, there must be something else holding back 160 at your location (terrain?

Hi Len, I have three for TX. The first, a Tee with the top supported to about 100 ft between two redwoods, with about 60 on-ground radials; the other two are wires sloping to the east and to the west

Sweet! I wish I had room. I would suspect you feed more than one band? Bill K9YEQ

Jim - What are you using for an antenna on 160? 73 Lyn, W0LEN

Search the manual for EE INIT. Before anything, it's best to use the K3 Utility program and save your current configuration. After that make sure you have the latest firmware

Hi Moderator, Thanks for inviting me to the group. My name is wrong as submitted by KCARC: My last name is Boyd, not Byod I have a question and hope there is a solution for convenience:

Hi Russ, For some unknown reason, my installation of the KAT500 Utility requires that I ‘Run as Administrator’ to have it function properly. Something is amiss in the labyrinthtine Windows

I have a non-technical question. I use the KPA500 / KAT500 combo with an IC 7300 transceiver. When I went into the KAT500 Utility Program to check firmware date and look at my configuration settings

Looking for a KRX3A sub receiver for my K3S. With or without filters is OK. Would also consider a radio that has the sub receiver installed. If a K3, it would need to have the upgraded KSYN3A

I bought a pair of those King products and they seem to work just fine. Thanks for the tip. Larry W0OGH On 2/1/2021 11:59 AM, Paul McKee wrote:
