Ken,
Yes, the KSP2 menu entries are a litle bit clumsy, but if you follow the
directions you can get it done. I know you will hae to fumble your way
through them 3 times before it seems OK.
Specifically, to get CF1 back to the LOPASS setting, Tap DISPLAY to
bring up the KDSP2 menu - the
and the bottom line reading is very
unstable - the power jumps randomly from 18W to 48W, so is the reading of
wattmeter - it is also unstable. The returned power stays pretty low though.
The meter bars on K3 also unstable. The SWR shows one bar and it is blinking
fast. The RF is jumping randomly.
Yes, I thought about that, but I have already invested in the K2, I'll
use that for a while.

Actually, A friend of mine has both the K2 and the K3 and he loves

Hi,
I had a similar problem last year in ARRL SS where the power output
jumped around. Gary suggested doing the power calibration again. I had
little trouble getting it done in the Utility but doing it manually got
things settled down again. I'm not sure that this fixed whatever the
problem was
Dick,
To come up with a optimal (?) setting I worked as follows:
Connected the elecraft XG-2 generator, 40m, S9 setting.
Set the K3 AGC to off and the display to dBV
Set Mode to cw, tuned on exact spot freq.
All frequency offsetsfor the filters were set as indicated (have 2.7,

That did it Don! Many thanks!
Somehow, my first filter setting was: C1 1.35 .75
I don't know how I managed to do that! It requires more button presses than I
thought I made! Anyway, it's fine now and I'll proceed more carefully from
here on.
Thanks again!

--- On Tue,
Yes. You have PTT or KEY(CW) configured wrong. maybe try to start N1MM
without the K3 on. Find these settings and verify the configuration.
Also check your cabling. Might try unplugging all cables and
re-connecting one by one.
Divide and Conquer.

Quoting dbellw...@aol.com:
I have built the KAT100 and KPA100 into a custom EC2 housing and it is working
very well,
there is only one little problem in the setting which I do not like. The
combo needs two power
supply cables, one for the high current into the KPA100 (Anderson connectors)
and one for the

Hi all,
I have been fiddling with the KDSP2 for a while and am trying to get
my head around the settings for optimal CW reception. Yes, I know
that's all subjective, but I'd be interested in hearing what folks are
using for the denoiser settings (beta, decay, CW gain) as well as the
CW filter
I purchased a used K1 without the ATU. I had it on receive 40m for couple
hours. All worked great being hooked up to a G5RV. I went through the Menu,
checked all the parameters, and only changed one option. ( set Filter 1 from
300 to 200 ). Then I got brave and plugged in a key! The radio
Werner,
Do you have the header for the AUX DC cable from the KPA100 installed in
your KAT100? In other words, do you have the KAT100-2?
If so, there is no need for the power cable to the KAT100, it will be
powered from the cable to the KPA100.

Stan,
Since the K1 was operating into a high SWR, the most likely failure is
the zener diode across the PA transistor output - it is there to kill
high RF voltage spikes, and with a high SWR, the RF voltage will be
either lower than normal or higher than normal at the PA collector
depending
So what if ON4UN has a K3?
So what if ON4UN has a FT5000DX?

You are right and you may be sure he will probably change his rig some
day and then some people will go into a funk. Previously ON4UN used two

certainly changed to the K3 but what next. Everyone makes their own

Check the power supply to see that it is staying within

Dan,
It does not have to touch, but only to go through the center of the core
(a straight wire through the core is a 1 turn winding).
If your aesthetics would like a tighter turn, then by all means reduce
the length of the insulated portion to make the turn tighter.

From prior photos that I have seen, you have great milling

You can run anything that runs on XP on Win 7 by installing an XP virtual
