 Got a KX145 reception problem in a homebuilt. (Nav not wired for use.)

 Transmits beautifully, but only receives up to 1/2 mile.

 Bench checked by a shop as AOK.

  

 What is pin 10 on the P401 ? (The antenna is currently connected to ANT only.)

 Feels like an antenna problem. Wondering about the unused pin 10...

		  It appears that the KX145 is among the first generation

 of Nav/Com transceivers wehrein the there is only one

 receiver . . . you can either listen to a comm channel

 or use it to navigate . . . but not both at the same time.



 Later radios were 1-1/2 Nav/Comm indicating that there

 is a full-up transmitter-receiver pair PLUS a separate

 nav receiver.



 The early nav/comms had two antennas too. The first

 was the vertical 'whisker' for transmit only; the

 second was the horizontal-V for receive only of

 either comm or nav.



 This explains the pin 10 connection which is the

 center conductor of your receive coax. If you're

 not connected to that pin, then receive performance

 would be VERY poor.



 If you don't plan to use the vor feature, then

 you can install an antenna relay . . .

   . . . that is wired into your microphone

 push to talk switch to let you receive on

 the comm-whisker and transfer it to the

 trasmitter during talk-time.

I have a KX145 manual.          It there's any info I can look up to help with this issue, drop         me a note.

         

         Bob, I'm still in the process of scanning it so you can add it         to your collection.  Just hasn't made it to the top of the         priority list.        	  Quote:

I am looking for a manual for the KX-145 and wondering if you would be able to send me a scanned copy please.

Bob,



I have a copy of the manual I scanned in several years ago.  I scanned 

at a high resolution. I believe it fills 5+ DVDs.  I sent a copy to Bob 

N. He may have created a smaller copy of it.  I would be willing to sell 

the copy I have, if you're interested in having a paper copy.  I also 

have a KX-145 and vor head, if you're interested in having one for spare 

parts.

There are optical character recognition (OCR) programs that will convert scanned documents into text.  The size of the text file is a very small fraction of the file size of the original scanned document.  The biggest advantage of a text file is that a computer can search it for certain key words.  A disadvantage is that the OCR program will make errors that need to be found and corrected. 	  Quote:

Given the number of diagrams, graphs, tables, etc, I don't think the 

manual is a good candidate for conversion by OCR software.

   The KX-145 installation manual I have is

   available at   http://tinyurl.com/zg3feyc



   It has been 'massaged' by Adobe Acrobat for

   character recognition and searching.

The manual I have is the "Maintenance/Overhaul Manual 5110". It 

completely fills a 2" ring binder.

Bob,



Just noticed your subject line.



Looking at the diagram I have I believe #10 is the center of the nav 

antenna coax.  There are 2 connectors.  This is on the longer of the 2, 

***NOT*** the one that connects to the KI-205.



If you need more info, let me know.
