Thanks for the clarification, Don. I perused that page for a while but found
it hard to track all the variations and mods. Order placed, and it looks

The link between PC and P3 can now be 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, or
15200 if your hardware is good enough. The link between P3 and K3 remains
38400. The K3 is not likely to change this. This was done for P3 image

Roy,
No screen saver. However, screen savers on the newer LCD displays are not
needed as much as they were in the CRT days.
Having said that, when I leave the shack or get involved with something else, I
shut off the P3 and that shuts off the external display which then goes to
sleep.

If the K3's antenna tuner is not set to 'Bypass' then there will almost
certainly be a
difference, since the external tuner is reading the SWR between the output of
the internal
tuner and the antenna, while the K3's reading is between the K3's final
amplifier and its
tuner. This difference
Robert,
I will not answer your question, but may offer some things to

readings should be accurate.
Now, while saying that, if you are adjusting for a 1:1 SWR, the exact
calibration of the wattmeter will not be any issue, just

Hi Dave.
I can't say for sure but the original screws for the plate were a fraction
too long, causing pops when the PA heated up due to thermal expansion.
Some of us simply filed a fraction off the original screws to seat the plate
