I want thank all of the suggestions. However, my question was more centered on if there is a design issue that could allow a delta to exist in T/R carrier frequency, regardless how you measure it. Mel

I have always thought that if I set the receive signal zero beat on WWV and see less than 2 Hz error would be reflected in the same possible offset on any band. I was told that on 40 meters, my carrie

That did it. Worked for four hours and no faults. Thanks Keith. I like simple solutions. Mel,, K6KBE

Good idea. Thanks. Mel

Started about a month ago and I thought it was a loose connection, but SWR was fine but both the RF S meter and the P3 display would be down several S units. Keyying the PTT a couple of times clears t

OK, got the K3 and the P3 running nicely and the waterfall is clean with the CWT signal centered. Did the setup and got the "T" opposite the BFO display. Threshold on Auto and CW 5-40 tapped the CWT b

Art the manual tells you how to bypass the tuner or bypass the amp. If you are using the config in the manual, you can pull the enable cable to the amp or use the internal functions. Its all on page 9

Anyone got a fix for the leakage? Mon is at 0. Still hear TX audio on TX? Mel, K6KBE

Some time in the last month or so I noticed that the headphones have low level audio from the transmitter. This not too much of a problem, but the MON is at 0 and I thought that in that position, the

First aid box is already cracked, darn. Looking at a utility box for outside mounting, weather proof and has a snap on clear cover. Light weight. BL-2 will fit in. Hummm. Mel, K6KBE

Interesting idea. I do have a travel first aid box, but I think it is plastic. Will check. Thanks. Mel, K6KBE

Thanks Matt, will look it up. Mel

I am looking for a weather protector for the balun. On portable uncertain weather, I would rather have some protection. I have seen a plexiglass one, but it has holes and doesn't look like you can swi

Great that you are going to build the kit, it will be a task that you will feel good about from now on. One thing, After you get the inventory done and segregated out on the work table, don't forget t

One other thing that made all of the kits easier to put together. Get at least one empty egg carton, cut the top off, and on the side of the depression write down what is going in. That is like, 4-40

Hi David, I think you will find a good run at the operation of baluns at W8JI site. Just Google it. Mel, K6KBE

Not sure where this thread is going, but I use a standard homebrew 4:1 ferrite balun then a W1JR choke balun with type 31 core and RG303 on my OCF with no RFI problems. Very light and easy to pack. Ho

Wayne, I love the TMP connectors and have a long nose pliers with a tip right angle that allow easy twist for insertion. I don't remember where I got them, but they do the job better than straight lon

Yes, but not very clear.. I looked at the schematic and a friend said that if you toggle pin 2 of the cable from the K3 to the P3 it will do the same without pulling the plug. A thought. Mel, K6KBE
