KX3 utility Question

[James Bennett]

Have a question about the KX3 utility. I recently upgraded my antenna system feedline, going from 450 ohm line to 600. Afterwards, I cleared the KX3 internal tuner’s memories and then re-trained it on every band at the proper segments.

Now I want to use the KX3 in a portable operation with a different antenna for a while. Are my memorized antenna settings saved with the configuration? If so, I can back up the config, go do my portable operating with a different antenna, and then come back home and restore the configuration. Yes…..??????

Thanks, Jim / W6JHB

Sorry, no. The KX3 Utility saves only what is lost in a Parameter Initialization (EEINT).  I didn't list ATU memories in the "what is not saved", but I'll change the K3 Utility help text.

Jim,
     I wouldn't worry about it. Just push the tune button on the radio
and let the KX3 sort it out and remember. I do so many antenna things
around here and never depend on the memories. In fact I have a real
problem going from 28.3 MHz. to 28.6 Mhz. but the radio keeps up with
it. It takes just a moment for it to catch up, but it does.

Hi Dick,

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, not what I was hoping to hear. Maybe that’s something that could be implemented in a future version. There are probably a lot of folks who take their rigs out in the field and would like to preserve their tuner’s home antenna settings.

73, Jim
