Hi Folks
Owned a KX3 for a while but never used portable until recently.
Antenna is a 40m dipole, coax fed. Nothing exotic.
For some reason the KX3 tuner has a problem getting a good match.
It settles on something like 1.8/1 which is not big deal except other
transcievers show near perfect match around 7.1megs.
Latest firmware ver loaded.
Now here is the odd part; above 7260 fast perfect match.
Move down 1khz to 7259 and the tuner won't match correctly.
On a 50 ohm dummy load tuner is faultless.
Some thing I noted is the VSWR reading on the KX3 seems out of line with
other equipment.
Not sure what the story is ?
in the meantime the KX3 is back on the shelf,
my K2 built several years ago is doing splendid service
cheers
