Per-mode coarse tuning rate (hold K HZ and tune VFO A or B). Also applies to
the RIT/XIT tuning knob if MENU:VFO OFS is set to ON, and both R IT and
XI T are turned off.
VFO counts per turn. Use 12 8 for easier fine-tuning of VFO; use 25 6 for faster
tuning. Note: The KH Z tuning rate always uses 128 counts per turn.
VFO tuning noise reduction. If VFO tuning noise is heard on a given band, set to
ON . The setting is stored per-band. Typically it would be used only on 6 meters
or other high-frequency bands.
If ON, the RIT/XIT offset control can be used to tune VFO A in large steps when
RIT / XIT are off and the OFS function of the OFS/VFO B knob is selected. Step
sizes vary by mode (see VFO CRS), and are the same as the KH Z tuning rates.
Adjusts the sensitivity of the VOX to match your mic and voice.
Adjusts immunity of the VOX circuit to false triggering by speaker audio. (Also
known as anti-vox.) A setting of about 30 is a good starting point. If receive audio
from a speaker trips the vox, increase the setting.
Wattmeter calibration parameter. The default setting is recommended. If an
external, known-accurate wattmeter reads lower than the KX3’s wattmeter,
decrease the parameter value (and vice-versa). Note: The ATU (KXAT3), even
when bypassed, may cause a small amount of loss (typically less than 0.5 dB).
Internal wattmeter accuracy may vary by up to 1 dB, varying with band.
Tap 1 – 9 to select the applicable transverter band (1 - 9). Set parameter to YES
to turn the transverter band on.
Lower edge for transverter band n (1-9 ); 0-249 99 MHz. (Tap 1 – 9 to select
applicable transverter band.) Normally, 14 4 would be used for the K144XV
internal 2-m module. But if the K144XV is being used as an IF for a higher-band
transverter, you can set it to the lower edge of the higher band.
Specify KX3 band to use as the I.F. for transverter band n (1-9). (Tap 1 – 9 to
select the transverter band.) I.F. selections include 7, 14 , 2 1, 2 8, and 50 MHz.
Use 50 MHz for the K144XV internal 2-m module.
Sets upper limit on power level in watts for XVTR band n. Applicable only to
external transverters, not the KX3-2M module. Tap 1 – 9 to select band.
The KX3 does not have a low-level transverter port, so external transverters must
have their own T/R switching and be able to handle the specified power level.
Offset (–9 .99 to +9.9 9 kHz) for transverter band n (1-9). (Tap 1 – 9 to select
transverter band.) Compensates for oscillator/multiplier chain errors in external
transverters. Not applicable to the internal KX3-2M module, which derives its
signal from the KX3’s synthesizer.
Assigns optional band-decode addresses to transverter bands. Addresses TR N 1-7
can be used to select Elecraft XV-series transverters if the ACC2 IO menu entry
is set to TR N C TRL and the transverters are connected to the ACC2 jack
(tip=auxBus, ring=key out). TRN0 is used with the KX3-2M module (internal).
Tap 1 – 9 to select the transverter band; rotate VFO A to select the address.
To configure an Elecraft KX3-2M 2 m module as XVTR band 1, set XV1 ON to
YES , XV1 RF to 14 4 MHz, XV1 IF to 5 0 MHz, and XV1 ADR to TR N 0. The
XV1 OFS and XV1 PWR menu entries are not applicable in this case.
