Having just completed the build of a basic K2 kit, I was keen to see if I could
use it with my KXPA100/KXAT100 combination to provide more power and take
advantage of the KXPA100's automatic ATU. However, the basic K2 doesn't provide
the keying output necessary to key the amp.

Don,
I did not consider the inherent delay of the all digital time to process.
Thinking back on my gold standard of ssb monitor circuits, the TS-830S has zero
delay due to it being all analog. My TS-850 is similar, although much more
modern than the 830 the ssb monitor is still all analog
If you have somehow managed to turn off AGC (Menu: AGC MD OFF) while in
SSB mode, that would explain why NR is N/A. (If your LCD display shows
AGC- rather than AGC-S or AGC-F, then your AGC is OFF.)
AGC MD is mode-specific, so if you turned it off while in SSB but not

If you note, there is nothing to be done with the RF Probe or the
frequency counter probe in that part of Alignment and test, so you can
go on with the Assembly Part II - you will need to frequency counter

You will find that all computer microphones will behave the same way
with the KX3. That is because those microphones connect the tip and

The K3 does not connect anything to the ring connection in the rear

Hi Tom,
Thank you for the help here! The NR showing N/A was caused by my having
the AGC off. I was unaware that killed the NR.
The feedback problem is not that simple... I believe it is feeding back

having the audio up...
Why do you feel the need to have the monitor tuned on?

If the sound is coming from the computer, go into the CONFIG menu and

Default is NOR 010 (the 010 is the level). If you tap 1 it will set

It is actually better to hear yourself with a slight delay.
When you talk, you are not hearing yourself as others hear you due to something
called 'bone conduction'. You can actually hear yourself through the mastoid
bone. Have you ever listened to a recording of yourself and thought, That's
Ordinarily, I'd agree, but I know for a fact that my sending is spot on. The
problem lies in the decode being unable to differentiate the spacing of the
'dits and dahs' for the letter combination of P (reading it instead as

I have the capability to measure it, but I have not done so. If it's
going through any DSP, there will be some, probably a few msec. I would
not expect it to be a problem.
I haven't yet given up, I think there is a timing issue that just has a hard
time 'hearing' the proper spacing on certain letter combinations. Almost
like there is a latency and the machine is still 'forming' the previous
letter. Hard to explain, but I'm going to keep at it until I can figure out

Not sure if it's comparable to the KX3, but I find the current K3's decode to
be relatively worthless compared with the original version I owned years

whatever for an improvement.

Hi all,
The bands were dead here today so I started working on getting the new
signalink working. I usually run flrig with fldigi on my macbook pro hooked
directly to the K3. I got the signalink for a new laptop. I start flrig and
let it stay in the background while I work with fldigi.
We've all been there, David. And my comment was not meant as a
criticism, I was just curious.
