[Elecraft] KX3 - First 2 meter CW contact

[Barry LaZar]

Wayne,
     With what Olli is doing and saying, what is going to happen to duty 
cycle and heat dissipation needs?

     Change of subject. The CQ WWCW contest was this weekend. When I got 
on Friday night, 40 was filled to overflowing. My kx3 was hearing better 
than, I infer, a lot of the DX stations. I could really hear through the 
QRM. What a demo!

73,
Barry

>> Wayne did a great job with the new firmware, SSB output is up to almost 3 watts now but only with COMP off. As soon as you turn COMP on output power drops down to 1 watt again until you "turn all lights on", i.e. push COMP to a full 30. Even then output is only 2.2 watts then. Suppose Wayne will take a look at it again this week. Problem is it seems he cannot reproduce it while we have 2 units here showing the same behaviour. Doesn't make things easier but Wayne would not be Wayne if ... ;-)
