I have to agree with Hank's comment below. There were a few comments
back then also agreeing. At some point I was told by Wayne or Lyle
that it was on the list to be improved. Yes, perhaps changing AGC or
something else made it worse -- ? --
As it is, I use it only on fairly weak SSB

After thinking further about Steve's question about whether a mic was
connected or not, I found the cause of the problem -- line in and line
out were connected to a computer sound card, which although powered
down, apparently provided enough coupling between line out and line in
to drive the VOX

Hi,
on my K3 the tune carrier is modulated by a hum noise. If i press the tune

It has nothing to do with my power supply and the problem appears between 1

It seems that the noise is generated inside the K3.

I don't normally make comments on these subjects.. But I have to say, the one

I suggest having a local ham station listen to your signal instead of using
an independent receiver. Common mode hum can play tricks on you.

Do you have a computer connected to your K3, either via the audio
connections or the RS-232 cable? If so, make sure that you have the
chassis of the K3 really well bonded to the chassis of the computer. I

I'm still having problems with the subRX in K3 #2887. Occasionally when I

to life when I power-cycle the rig.

All, I am using my laptop and serial port to key the K3 using N3FJP logger.
With the config PTT-Key set to rts-dtr it runs ok. But, I don't think the

Anyone else heard this? Is there something to adjust? Thanks,
Phil,
Please emphasize to relaying stations to pass check-in stations calls and names
to you. I tried to check in and was acknowledged by a 5 land station who
apparently did not pass my check-in to you. Thanks. Roy Morris W4WFB

I'm running the K3 in DATA A mode for WSJT using straight-through audio
connections and using VOX to key the rig (and amp). The amp uses an old frame
relay, and consequently I have TX DLY set to 20 ms, the max. I'm concerned that
RF out when using VOX may not be delayed by TX DLY as it is when
I recently assembled my K3 and am having some trouble getting a
microphone to operate. All of my station microphones are Motorola
handheld microphones. These are dynamic microphones which have a
built-in amplifier, to make them appear as carbon microphones. As
such, they require bias voltage.
Refer to the K3 Owner's Manual page 67 for a description of ERR PL1.
You may have to re-calibrate the Synthesizer for 12m - see page 49 of
the K3 Owner's manual.
