To Jim Brown,
Thanks for the recommendations about brand name coax and coax connectors.
Can you recommend brands and/or vendors for stereo cables with similar high
quality construction? Would be a great help. Many thanks.

Hi all,

No. There are companies who sell cables at VERY inflated prices, but
that rarely correlates with quality. For example, most vendors of

I’m contemplating doing the K3 AF Output Mod (two 470 ohm resistors on the
KIO3 board) on my Serial Number 1672 K3, but the recent discussions of one
ohm resistors and a new audio mod make me wonder if I should wait. Is there
any info on this new audio mod? Should I hold off on the 470 ohm

Hi Jim,
The SVGA card actually performs its own, wider FFT of the I/Q data developed
in the P3 front end. If you want to take a picture of the SVGA screen, plug
a FLASH drive into the USB connector on the back of the P3/SVGA and then use
the Ubmp selection under the SVGA sub-menu. If you want

It is entirely possible that your ohmmeter is using polarity that is
different than normal for DMMs.
You *are* using a DMM are you not? If you are using a VOM or VTVM, stop
- the voltage used in those meters (ohmmeter function) may be high
enough to saturate semiconductor junctions and
Not sure how they stack up on the quality scale but I have had good
luck using 1m stereo cables from RS. I've not seen RFI sensitivity

I have a ongoing nuisance. On USB it seems high voices will pop/crack just
like if AGC was off and hitting the AF limiter. Reducing RF Gain clears it up.
Turning agc threshold down has no effect.
Is there a agc setting that might correct this? I haven't tried slope which is
15 (max).

Mike,
I don't know if it will help in your situation, but take a look at my
webpage www.w3fpr.com article on Noisy K3 for some guidance to setting
the AGC parameters. Yes, changing the slope may be helpful, but you
will have to experiment a bit.

The 470 ohm modification is a fairly easy work and elecraft gave very
comprehensive work description. I have done it for a long time. I will order

Mike,
An added note - when experimenting with the AGC settings, do take heed
of the information on how to evaluate the results of your changes -
listen between pauses in the signal rather than listening to the noise
on the band. Listening to the noise level without an intermittent

Let me add, I don't mind reducing rf gain more one on one BUT its aggravating
after a while in a group to turn it up and down for one or two guys with high
pitch voices.
Seems AGC should do that?
Once again, it's like the high pitch voice is activating th AF limiter or a
similar sound. AGC
Mike,
The high pitched voices should have no connection with AGC. I would
suggest that those signals are off frequency. Using the RX EQ might
help, or reducing the HiCut may be the answer to make your RX more
comfortable.

I'm not sure I can explain this. But it's possible the problem is a
combination of two possible error sources:
1) I believe the XV50 leds are displaying power based on the voltage at
the final stage, and is not using a SWR bridge to measure forward power.
The W2 is measuring forward power, so
