[Elecraft] KX3 Question, Transmit Test Mode

[Phil Hystad]

Thanks Wayne.  Yes, I was thinking of voice-mode.  If I wanted to practice my CW I would do that on the air with the hope that I would get some replies.  Always looking for that next QSO.  

I did want to do all the adjustments for voice so I will turn the power down low and hook up a dummy load.  No problem there.  Although, maybe I just get some more patch cables with BNC connectors.

73, phil, K7PEH
