KX3 broadcast interference

[Thaire Bryant-2]

Yesterday afternoon I noticed an odd issue with my KX3.  I've had it almost two years and have never seen this before.  17 meters had broadcast interference from one end to the other on USB and CW (same station).  I could hear nothing on AM.  I checked the K3 and K2 on the same antenna and had no interference.  On the KX3 it was only on 17M but on any antenna.  Any ideas?

Hi Thaire,

Propagation could be boosting this station to the point that it requires setting the KX3's RX SHFT menu entry to 8.0 on this band. That would fix it 99% of the time. If you have a particularly bad case you could also set the PREAMP menu entry to 10 dB rather than 20 dB on 17 m.
