KX3 report

[Greg - AB7R]

Trying to get some operating time this weekend while doing school work.  
I am connected to N1MM with KX3 #14 and interfaced with my SO2R box.  No
problems so far with N1MM using the K3 setting as expected.

I have the KX3 connected to an OB12/6 yagi at 50ft (high winds today)
and running 5W.   Audio sounds great with the headphones.  K3 users will
have no problems operating this radio.  So far on 15 I have worked a
bunch of DX including ST2AR in a pile up and some EU stations.

One suggestion for folks who get this.  Make your interconnect cables
from molded right angle plugs.  Right now I am using adapters from 1/4
in down to 1/8 inch and while it works it may put too much strain on the
internal sockets.

I have not tried SSB yet but I will later today when I get another break.

Hi Greg,

Good advice.

Note that all of the cables we supply -- power, PC, and mic -- come  
with molded right-angle plugs. We're also going to offer 2.5-mm  
adapter cables for use with the ACC2 and RX I/Q jacks.

Wayne,
Will the 2.5mm adapter cables for the KX3 be on the order page in the near future?  I also would like to order a separate "KXSER (RS-232)  Cable."  I have requested the USB cable with the KX3, but depending on circumstances I will need to switch from one to the other.

Thanks,
Stan
