I replaced the cap with a screw-in cleanout. I have two caps, one with Schrader valve for compressed air operation, the other drilled to accept grill lighter for hair spray (classic potato gun) operation.Ken ke4rgPS: Don't forget to leave valve open for potato gun operation!

My initial listening around 472 kHz with the KX3 shows only broadcast
station images from higher up. I do have the tuner option, which I know
the manual says enhances reception in the broadcast band. I'm trying
various baluns and will build a tuner that goes down that low if necessary.

Also, is there any chance the KX3 can be programmed to transmit down
there, perhaps with an external low-pass filter? Obviously the hardware
may not have big enough transformers to even think about it...

Not likely John,

I live at 68th and Bluemound and even WTMJ is sketchy on my KX3.  The only way would be with a downconverter.
