[Elecraft] KX3 NAP3 & Win4K Off Frequency

[James Bennett]

Peter,

I've been using my KX3 and NaP3 for several months, although not with Win4k3 - love how I'm able to control the rig from this application in addition to doing a "point & click" to jump to signals I see on the band. However, on my computer, NaP3 gets all bollixed up after I press my CW key, apparently because the KX3 sends it's high-level audio out the RX I/Q port even during transmit, and this high level messes up the NaP3 engine, causing duplicated signals to appear. I remedy it (until the next transmission sequence) by clicking on "Fixed", then "Run" in the WBIR box on the DSP tab of the NaP3 Configure/Setup panel.

Wayne has noted several times that the KX3 firmware will be changed to allow the option of NOT sending a signal out the RX I/Q port but to my knowledge, this has not yet been implemented. I hope it happens soon......... :-)
