Mike,
I'm planning to leave it on continuously although I did tap "1" to save
the setting at what my final fully warmed up state should be. I bought
an active GPS antenna which I have sitting in a windowsill and it seems
to have a good GPS lock. I have to try pretty hard to get it to loose
Thanks to everyone that responded. I looked at that errata several
times and for some reason had blinders on to the big obvious section in
the middle of the page which deals with enabling the module. That's
what I get for working on it in the middle of the night.
All good now.

I picked up the Leo Bodnar frequency reference and a K3EXREF board after
reading a couple of threads here. I Installed the board according to
instructions, took static precautions, am using a known good cable from
the K3 to said reference. I can clearly hear the 10MHz tone on my K3
when I
the calibration.
I ran it again with the same result but this time proceeded on to the
50w calibration which succeeded. I then re-ran the 5w calibration and
it was successful.
All is working well now and I'm happy with the upgrade.

I use the internal charger in my KX3 to keep some NiMH batteries
charged. I take them out occasionally, but not very often as they see
very little use since I almost always use an external battery. I'm
careful not to overcharge by running the charger for short periods and
keeping an eye on
RUMlogNG and RUMped here as well. Have been using them for several
years and am extremely happy. I use it on a MacBook Pro with my K3 at

David,
I ran an Icom 756 Pro III prior to purchasing my K3. I really liked the
ProIII, but some things that come to mind about my decision roughly
1.5yr ago are:
- Repair on the ProIII would have been difficult as compared to the K3
where I built the kit and am comfortable swapping parts.
