Tonite, I took my KX3 to code class since it has a better sounding audio
than my usual square-wave keyers. To prevent any mishaps, I set the ACC2
setting to HI-TXinhibit before I left home. It seemed to work ok pressing
the XMIT button.
When I got the class, I verified the "TX" was blinking. I hooked up the
paddles, and....... No sidetone! Set ACC2 back to "ON" so I could key the
amp tomorrow, and all was normal again. We used the radio as a keyer 'till
the AA Alkalines finally gave up. I then switched to my NiMH pack and
finished the night.
I really wasn't expecting the TX INHIBIT to act this way. I have to get
used to the fact that this is not a baby K3. It has a personality all it's
own, and generally I like it. I really need to get with Rose, however and
order a "Dust Cover" for my K3. It's not getting used much since the KX3
arrived.
This weekend, my club is having a Special Event in Colonial Williamsburg,
and I hope to take the KX3 and the THP-50B Amp and work some of the
stations. Look for us Saturday after 10:00 AM on 40M near 7.265 (+/- 5).
Later we will prob switch to 20M around 14.265. Call is K4RC, and we will
QSL. Cert offered for working all three of our events, in May, July and
October.
