- Here's a quick overview of Elecraft's new PX3 High Performance Panadapter for the KX3. The Noise Blanker also comes up in the screen on a white background when pressed now. I omitted this from the video. Heck they come out with Betas and updates faster than a guy can do videos.
This was very helpful. I got a PX3 and stand with a rig set I bought 2 years ago. I don’t use the Elecraft gear often. Recently, after an accident, I had my radio gear moved upstairs into my den and I found that I had forgotten almost everything I knew about the KX3, PX3. Your video brought me up to speed. Thank you very much. MikeinMinnesota N0WDM
I just got the kx3, px3, and kxpa100 , Never thought I would get into the wood shop for something like that. Very nice video, Thanks.
EXCELLENT VIDEO! Very informative and methodical, thank you
Johann Brummer Thank you Johann!
Very well thought out VIDEO, really shows the features of the PX3 and simultaneously kinda/sorta justifies the price.
+Paul Pursley Thanks Paul!
I've been thinking about getting a PX3. This is a superb overview -- thanks! de W2TAC
Excellent review and/or tutorial! I already have both a KX3 and PX3 on the UPS truck, but your video has been very helpful and reaffirmed my decision. KC3DNP
Hi Steve, Glad the video helped put your mind at ease. You will love the new equipment! JD - N0IRS
JD, not only this this a very good video but it is also very informative. Thanks for putting it together. 73 Frank K0JQZ
Thanks for the encouragement Frank!
Nice! Thank you very much. Very helpful.
Hard to believe that it's been 7 years since I made this video. Thanks!
Hi. Thanks heaps for a great video on the PX3. I have got one coming my way and really looking forward receiving it. Your video is very good and love to see more of the same quality. Thanks again, Gerard VK2JNG
Thanks Gerard for you kind comments. You will be very happy with your new addition to the KX3. I will do some more videos in the future.I have too many hobbies and it is nice to be able to combine Ham Radio and Video work together. Regards. JD - N0IRS
Is there a reason one wouldn't want the NB setting on the PX3 to be linked to the NB setting on the KX3? I find it odd that you have to turn it on and set the level on each separately.
JD, I am just getting into Ham Radio. Purchased a Baofeng UV-5R to make my first contacts on two meter. I'm studying up with several apps for my Tech License and I am studying the art of CW like I have to (even though I don't have to yet, trying to learn like a traditional student would). I live in Grain Valley, just east of the metro and did not know where to start locally to be in a club or find a mentor. Any suggestions?
I think your best bet is to find a mentor. One that has been in the hobby 10 or more years without a break and has tried many different parts of the hobby. And of course one that has some time and is willing to take you from a - Z. Hands on is the best way to learn. Anyone can remember facts etc. but practical hands on will really sink in. Clubs are okay and you tend to get a wide diversity of people in these organizations. However, the same Elmer (mentor) will always be the best approach. CW is great to learn, I worked at it for almost a year and finally passed back when it was still required in 2005. I do still use the mode on many bands. If you were here with me now I would have to ask you want and where you want to go in the hobby? It's always a question I ask to find out about expectations. It's has less to do with what you know about the hobby now, but more about what you want to learn along the way. There's is so much to do in this hobby and having somewhere break it down in steps is very important so you learn and don't get overwhelmed. Let me know if I can help you! JD - N0IRS

thank you kind for the very fast answer vy 73 elan from g land
I find that display to be too little. Elecraft would have served their customers better by making a software version of a panadapter where people can bring their own screen, i.e. a laptop, tablet or huge monitor.
Good idea. I also use and LP-Pan into the computer using the IF out of the rig.
Is anyone else only hearing his voiceover in the left channel? The intro music is both channels, but his voice is only on the left for me.
4 years old now. The longer a video stays up on CZcams and gets ported over, sometime that tend to loose audio channels.
I wonder if you're still around. 🤔
Any idea why the display seems to bog down when it's decoding your own transmission?
It doesn't bog done.
It’s pausing on transmit, that’s all. My 7300 does the same thing. I was going to get a KX3, PX3, and a KXPA 100 since I like my KX2 so much (plus my K1 and K2 that I no longer have) but opted for the 7300 as it’s all in one. Now I will just wait for a KX4 and PX4 with touch screen ;-)
Very nicely done! de WB5PUN
Thank You!

Have you ever tied the PX3 to the FT-DX5000MP ???
Eddie Palmer yes I have, works great.
Would you share the hookup connections for the FT-DX5000 to the PX3 ????
gerat Video tnx
+Rudolf Gabler Thanks Rudolf! I appreciate the feedback.
Way too many cables and connections!!!!!
ด ด they are important to the audio and driver passthough
Great video. I'm own a K-Line and a KX3. I've been thinking about the PX3 but the cost seems to be too high when compared to something like a netbook. Do you think there is enough value with the PX3 to warrant the cost vs a netbook? I use my P3 all the time but with the KX3 and when being used for portable work, it seems a netbook makes more sense. I appreciated any comments and thanks in advance for them. W1TXT at arrl dot net if you want to reply directly.
