[Elecraft] ZLX8 - K3 firmware

[Rich - K1HTV]

Hi Johnny,
   I think you meant ZL8X. I'm sure glad that they are using a K3 on that
Dxpedition to Kermadec. They must have been using it on 160 Meters this morning
when I worked them. I was running 100 Watts to an Inverted-L from my VA QTH.
They were Q5 here on my K3 with the APF turned ON. There is nothing wrong with
the APF, but I did notice that when I reduced the RF gain control a bit the copy
became better. Must have been hitting the DSP with a bit too much of my local
noise.

ZL8X on Kermadec Island is K1HTV country #221 with 100 Watts. I can thank having
K3 on both ends of the path, as also occurred for my 160M QSO with Dave,
KH2/N2NL a few weeks ago.  Thank you Elecraft!

73,
Rich - K1HTV

Hello Group,

K3 is the main radio in ZLX8.  Do you know which version of Firmware they are
using?

Yesterday, I hear ZLX8 at 20 metre 59+.  I returned to them with my QRP K3, also
received 59 signal report.  My KPA3 is under repair by Elecraft.
 cheers,
