Introduction
This comprehensive manual covers all the features and capabilities of the Elecraft PX3 panoramic display. We
recommend that you begin with the Quick-Start Guide (page 6). The Front Panel (page. 11) and Side panel
Connectors (page 14) sections are for general reference. Basic Operation (page 15) and Advanced Operating
Features (page 22) fill in the details of the full capabilities of the PX3.
PX3 Features
The PX3 Integrates very closely with the Elecraft KX3 with point-and-click QSY and an “undo” feature with
simple control press to return to the previous frequency. A number of advanced features enhance the PX3’s
performance and versatility:
Easy Set-Up
 Only three cables for basic operation (I/Q for signal, ACC1 for frequency data and power). Cables are
provided with the PX3.
 Optional additional connections provided for transceiver communications, a personal computer and
optional accessories.
 Simple configuration and calibration for optimum performance with your KX3.
Display
 Bright, high-resolution, full color display.
 Efficient LED backlight for long life and low power consumption.
 The frequency display tracks the KX3.
 Both Spectrum and Waterfall displays.
 Fast display update.
 Up to 200 kHz span.
 Frequency resolution automatically increases as span is decreased.
 Excellent sensitivity and dynamic range.
Ergonomic Design
 Uncluttered interface.
 No unused controls on the screen.
 Adjustable legs to match the viewing angle of the KX3.
Field Upgradable
Software defined architecture so many new features will require only a simple firmware update using the
provided PX3 utility program that can be downloaded from www.elecraft.com.
