> The new 15-watt level applies only to 80-20 meters, and is still considered somewhat experimental. Several dozen field testers have been using it with excellent results, but we can't guarantee that every KX3 will actually put out a full 15 W. Supply voltage is one limiting factor. We strongly recommend the use of 13.8-14 V whenever possible. This is especially important when you're driving an external amplifier and using one of the linear modes (SSB, AM, PSK-D, or audio data modes).
>
> PSK63 is twice as fast as PSK31. Rather than copy it on the KX3's VFO B display, you may want to use the Terminal function of KX3 Utility, or use a PX3 with text decode turned on. This data mode is especially popular in Europe.

> ? POWER OUT NOW 15 WATTS MAX, 80-20 M: On 80-20 meters, the PWR control can now be set as high as 15 W (max is still 12 W on other bands). Supply voltage must be over 12.8 V on key-down as indicated by the KX3?s voltage display (tap DISP, rotate VFO B). Note: The KX3 will automatically reduce power as required if current, SWR, or temperature is excessive, or if supply voltage is too low. If a band other than 80-20 m is selected, power output will be cut back to 12 W max. It must then be manually set above 12 W after switching to 80-20 m.
>
> ? PSK63 MODE ADDED: Tap DATA, rotate VFO B until PSK D is displayed, then use VFO A to select 31 or 63 baud. The default is PSK31.
>
> ? 4-METER POWER OUTPUT IMPROVED: Changed IF band-pass filter configuration to increase drive level on 4 meters. This should improve 4-meter power output in cases where it was marginal due to filter rolloff.

This command is often used at the end of "KY<text>;" packets, or just for general use in returning the radio to receive mode. "RX;" now correctly terminates transmit in all cases, even when used in combination with PTT.
