I have identified an easy way to switch between various TX EQ settings
using N1MM or Logger32 thanks to information kindly supplied by Bill
Coleman N2BC, author of K3_EZ.
The method involves using the macro functions in each program to set
compression and TX EQ bands. For example, flat with no
Sorry, that should be mn009; for TX EQ - mn008; is of course RX EQ.
Can't see a way of doing it in Win-Test, Nick. One of the reasons why I
abandoned my (paid for) Win-Test in favour of N1MM.

I think the logger EQ macros are probably most useful where a station is
switching modes often and needs to tailor the response appropriately.
Logger32 has up to 36 macros available so there is plenty of room for
them in there. N1MM appears to have less space and as you rightly point
out,

EE INIT is what you are looking for - but be sure you have a saved

Hmm. It does say 'RoHS' on the base...

KRX3 install:
I installed my sub rx about six weeks ago and revelled in the extra
flexibility this gave me. About two weeks ago I noticed a couple of
brief drops in sensitivity but put this down to a strong nearby signal.
My K3 does this sort of unexpected leap to next band up/down at tuning
breaks with linked or unlinked main/sub. I assumed this was because I
had the general coverage filter in the main but not the sub. Firmware 2.82.
No 'zipper' noise here except that little bit at the bottom end of 6m.

That's the right site. Try 'Support', 'X-keys Support' and then 'X-keys

does the same, in pastel colours ;-)
These look to be useful units but it seems to me that all they do is

Thank you for pointing out the difficulties in setting average power
across a range of modulation types.
Whatever the peak/average ratio of the modulation, the output power from
the PA is peak limited - so wouldn't the answer be a K3 power meter and
power control that shows/sets peak

Down the years I have found that flashing a new BIOS on computer
motherboards can also occasionally generate a surprise change or two.
Why this should be I have never discovered but, eg, having your boot

Try a current choke 'balun' instead of the BL2.
As a temporary antenna I have 25m of twin speaker wire run out from the

I agree that the BL2 is a true current balun using a balanced design
that chokes common mode currents while also transforming impedances to
ease a conjugate match - albeit one of the ratios is 1:1 - but my
