[Elecraft] [KX3] Solid state amps and KX3 negative ALC

[Keith Heimbold]

I have been using the KX3 with the THP HL450B and they seem to be getting along fine.  I am currently using the KX3 again in my truck as I sold my K3 that was in my mobile. The K3 was a real nice mobile radio but I needed the money for antenna repairs and upgrades.

Funny thing is that the KX3 is still having high current warnings and the K3 had absolutely zero issues in the mobile. Not sure why the KX3 doesn't like my mobile environment but after having a FT450AT, my K3 and a Icom 706 having minimal issues the KX3 seems to have more problems in my truck than the other radios.

Thanks for providing the information. Just want to make sure that I get this right.
