We are waiting for the S meter absolute mode to be incorporated into the
firmware as it is in the K3, then the meter will correctly read the signal
at the antenna socket irrespective of preamp or attenuator settings. I
agree that the current situation is somewhat odd, maybe there's a good
reason
Hi all
Its Alan Grant again, still have problems with my P3, I read all the
suggestions and changed the cable/s and have found that I can get it to
talk to the K3 and down load to
the MCU and won't find the P3 past that point, the P3 at least is working,
but the saga does not seem to be found,

OK.

Robin,
Unfortunately, Pauli EA3BLQ is SK and as far as I know, no boards are

For the fixed audio out, you may want to look at my website

Setting HI=Inh in the ACC2 IO Menu de facto disables TX (TX blinking); so
this is the perfect solution with no need for external HW.

As others have said, waiting for the FW upgrade to allow ABS (Absolute)

My KX3 Reads correct on 20 meters with the preamp on. 40 and 80 meters show

I hope the new firmware will allow calibration as well, since mine is off a

I hope its ok for me to post an OFF-TOPIC query.
Here is my question:
Recently I was forwarded an email.a ham offering to sell a slightly
used KX3.
I had a bad experience this summer with someone who I believe was posing
as a ham offering to sell something via email.
It was in response to a
1) See if QRZ address matches the address he gives
2) Google search him to see if anyone complained on a list or
elsewhere. Also see if he ever posts to ham reflectors and what that
history is.
3) Does he have a land-line phone nr that can be verified against his
address on the internet
Just a couple elaborations on these fine points.
1) QRZ email address is not always a sure fire protection against fraudulent
posts. I had one gentleman I was going to purchase from who was unaware that
his QRZ email was hacked. Get a phone number and references from another ham in

Double check your power supply connections. I wouldn't trust any display
readings without first making sure the unit was first getting good voltage.

ask for photocopy of a sales receipt, or an invoice, showing that he purchased
the item from a legitimate source (e.g. an Elecraft invoice).

To be clear concerning the QRZ address check::
QRZ.com can give the official FCC contact postal address. This can
also be had on the FCC website. I recommend comparing that postal
address to the postal address he gives for sending the USPS money
order. I would NOT like a po box nr for this,
Don's little audio board is perfect. I use one in my K2 for all digital
modes. Builds in about 30 minutes from parts you can get anywhere
including Radio Shack. Sparkfun.com has a nice little 10K trimpot with a

Chris,
No, it cannot be done that way - an RS-232 port cannot have multiple
drivers - that Y cable is to connect a port that only listens on the bus
- its drivers must be disabled - like the SteppIR controller.
If you want 2 applications to talk with the K3, you must use a virtual
port
Someone once suggested a simple method of smoking out
a suspected scammer: Ask the seller to send you a
photo of the item being sold together with some random

a kitchen fork. This ensures that he actually has the
item in his possession.

Just worked TX5D PSK31 on 12m using the built-in encoder/decoder of the K3.
It would have been really nice to have split available for this purpose. I
have the second receiver.
Toggling back and forth between the A/B vfos is pretty clumsy.
Why no split on PSK-D?

I have had a P3 for some time but only very recently did I build it and

The first problem encountered is as follows. I tried QSYing the K3 to a marker
frequency, but no QSY occurs when either marker is selected and the
Select knob is tapped. Yes,
The ERP calculation was, I think in error, but it was for 600 meters, not 60
meters and the ERP from a reasonable antenna is much less for 600 meters than
for 60 meters.
