It very well could be the pin connections. This weekend I started intermittently losing TX audio and when holding TUNE, it would go into TX, display 0 watts, and put out no power.  Shutting the K3 and power supply off and turning everything back on seemed to correct the problem once but then

If your K3 does not have gold pins on the front panel, and they are getting oxidized, strange error messages may occur on power-up. Either do the gold pin mod, or hit the old tinned pins with DeoxIT. Dave Hachadorian, K6LL Yuma, AZ -Original Message- From: Don Wilhelm Sent:

Jed, I would suggest unplugging the KAT3 and re-inserting it. Sometimes that will wipe the contact pins of any oxidation and correct the problem. Consult the K3 Assembly manual to see how to install the KAT3, reverse the steps to remove it. Repair is possible if you are capable of

Hello all: Over the weekend I was getting an ERR AT3 on my K3 when I first turn on the radio. I did read in the manual about removing the KAT3, but decided just to try setting the Config to "not inst" and the message no longer appears during power up. The radio seems to work just fine without the

Alan, Yes, set the KXPA100 tuner to bypass - switch on the front. You will be using cabling as shown in Figure 4 page 11 of the KAT500 Owner's manual. The "output on transceiver that provides closure to ground on transmit" is the RCA jack on the rectangular box in the cable between the KX3

A little help / guidance please. I have a Kx3 w/ Kxpa100 and soon I will be adding a Kpa500 / Kat500 to this mix. When you add a Kxpa100 to a Kx3 you set the power on the Kx3 from 0-110w. If you click tune on the Kx3 it tunes the tuner in the kpa100. Full integration How does all this work

Hi Peter. I would have used the K3S power control anyway, but I'll modify the circuitry to accommodate the K3S TX Inhibit. A QSO should be possible on 2M (even without the linear). My take-off to the West is good and the slightest lift in conditions seems to get me to West Wales etc., 73,

I believe at least some of the DSP filters in the K3 are FIR (Finite Impulse Response) ones, which should be phase linear. The roofing filters will not be phase linear, so I would think you could get away with using a narrow DSP filter, as long as you used a relatively wide roofing filter.
