Thanks for the report Ken, I am afraid I don't see a need for one of Rose's covers for it. I am waiting for an uncommitted sensor so I can measure high power at VHF and above. Regarding powering: My K3 12V output powers an automotive relay (+diode) which connects the 12V PSU to an 8 way

2009-11-14 Thread Lyle Johnson
Is there a way to reduce the how long the K3 seems to take to start/stop sending RTTY after it keys up. The software running on your computer should control this. If you are using a paddle to send RTTY using the K3 internal FSK encoder, then send the prosign IM (di-di-dah-dah) to immediately

I'd like to recommend to others my solution. An Alpha Delta Model TT3G50 While it may not be as inexpensive as winding your own chokes etc, it is a whole lot easier. I have a double male connector on the back of the K2/100/AT100 and it feeds the amplifier or antenna. I never move it. BTW I

Thanks, to Cookie (Willis) for the email. I went to the Prolific site and checked for drivers. Unwittingly I had hooked up my KUSB USB connector into the HP computer with Win 7 and the operating system looked for and got the correct driver. I connected it to my K3 all seems good. I also used it

Phil: I've bought cables with Amphenol connectors from www.cablesondemand.com and have been very happy with them. Besides high quality RCA cables, they sell 6 pin mini-din cables (all 6 pins connected) and 50 ohm BNC or SMA or N-terminated coax. I can't say the RCA audio cables are 100%

Also, if you are using a KAT3 without separate receive antenna try bypassing the ATU on receive. That can give you again as much improvement in the MDS (minimum discernible signal) as switching the preamp on. Don't forget to switch in the ATU again when you go to transmit! 73, Drew AF2Z On
