[Elecraft] KX3-2m CW problem

[Jack F6AJW]

Sorry Paul, no answer to your problem with CW (not yet tried).
On my side, I am a bit disappointed with my KX3-2m because of low TX 
output (2W instead of 3 announced) and lot of birdies on dummy load in 
RX mode. When using an external antenna, noise level increases and some 
birdies disappear but not all especially on 144.400 MHz. Do not try to 
connect an antenna (flexible quarter wave in my case) directly on SMA 
socket, you will receive a lot of birdies so, no way to use my KX3-2m 
like I used to do at the end of 70's with my IC-202 transceiver and 
telescopic antenna.

Any way to cure my problems?

73's.
