Re: kx3 utility

The utility is telling you that it is communicating with your KX3 at 38400 bits/sec. The KX3 has firmware revision 2.90.
This is not an error message. It appears to be working just fine.

Re: kx3 utility

I am using the KXusb cable from computer and acc1 plug on radio but it does not connect with radio.
Do I need to change the radio speed to 38400 or is it automatic?
If so looked in manual and did not see how

Re: kx3 utility

The magic computer tech fixed it. Thanks for the help.
Unplugged the cable and turned all off then turned on and connected cable again and it worked.
Thanks to all that replied.

Elecraft K3s - RX OU ANT and Colibrì nano sdr

In reply to this post by 1lasportsman 1lasportsman

Hello,

i ordered a Colibrì Nano
(https://eesdr.com/en/products-en/receivers-en/colibrinano-en)
and i am thinkg to connect the Colibrì antenna through the RX ANT OT of
the K3s tu use the colibrì and his software like a panadapter for the
K3s.
The colibrì can't accept "IF OUT", so i will use RX ANT OUT from XV3B to
give antenna signal to the Colibrì.
The Colibrì is one the best SDR (usb) out there with a sample rate of
max 3mhz at 16 bit and 768 khz at 24 bit, the dedicated software
ExpertSDR2 is fantastic anche can used with SDC to have cw skimmer spots
and DX cluster spots on the panadapter.

I want to use the Colibrì only like a panadapter and use the K3s to
transmit, syncing the two radio frequncies.

I would like to know if there are know problem to use this
configuration, especially when i will go in TX with the K3s.
Maybe somebody did it this before me.
There is a protection system that disconnect RX ANT OUT when the K3s go
in TX ?
There is something to configure in the menu ?
Simply, there is a risk for the safeness of the Colibrì connect to the
antenna RX OUT ANT ?
I wouldn't burn the Colibrì with RF or RFI coming from the radio.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot, Graziano IW2NOY

Re: Elecraft K3s - RX OU ANT and Colibrì nano sdr

If all you want to do is create a panadapter, I suggest that you use the IF
out of your K3s. I do that and it works nicely. This obviates the need for
SDR protection while transmitting.
