[Elecraft] New product opportunity

With the upcoming release of the KAT500, I was thinking that the K-line would look slightly asymmetrical with the tuner sat on top of either the K3 or the Amp. So, how about a matching unit to the KAT500 to balance it all up? It could house a series of forward facing buttons which could be band

Hi Rick Joe, Rick, to the best of my knowledge, the CONFIG:SPKRS affects the rear speaker jack and not the rear phone jack. The rear phone jack is always stereo. Of course, I suppose it might be possible that Joe has accidentally plugged his head phones into the rear speaker jack by mistake.

I am attempting to use CAT commands to program the K3 to go into something I call remote or local mode (using HRD with macros assigned to buttons) Basically, remote mode switches the MIC to Line in and sets the compression to 0. What is missing is to set PTT. Local mode, switches MIC to front

Do you have the ability to send a GET command and query the result? Then you could use the VX getter to know what state you're in and issue SWH09 only if you need to. I have to do this quite a bit in the K3 Utility for K3 state that has only toggles. Dick, K6KR -Original Message-

I thought you couldn't do that inn the k3 utility. I guess I could program a macro and then just call this from HRD. I can't find any documentation on HRD programming languages. Perhaps I don't even need to switch to PTT and back. From the manual it says that even if you VOX the PTT is active.

Here's my take: Most if not all RF power meters will only be accurate at a 1:1 SWR (when there is resonance). The actual power can more accurately determined by reading the voltage and current and then only if the amp efficiency is known. It's likely that neither the K3 or KPA500 meter is
