Hello,After about 2000+ QSOs with my KX3 please allow me to suggest a few items, that may improve the operations. Please bear with me, if I have missed something.
1) When the KX3 is switched off with the RIT activated, RIT will be off when the rig is turned on again, even though the RIT symbol is shown in the display. (Minor problem)
2) When turning the subreceiver on (with PF2) the OFS symbol is turned on. The VFO-B should be turned on when activating the SUB RX, in order to adjust the RX frequency. (As it is now, you have to push the VFO B knob to activate the VFO, which is an extra operation when entering a pile-up). (Major problem)
3) For operating convenience in quiet environments, the lowest monotor level (MON 1) should be reduced 6 - 10 db in order to reduce operator fatigue. This would be particularly helpful in contests using a PC logging and keying tool, where you just want to know what is happening. The Monitor setting on the K2, does this very nicely.
Tnx for listening, 73 OZ7BQ, Hans Jørgen.
