Robin, Do you have an RS-232 9 pin cable connected between the K3 RS232 connector and the XCVR connector on the K3? That cable is what carries the frequency and other information to the P3. For computer connection, connect the PC to the "PC" connector on the P3. If you have a K3S and are

Hi - I must be a complete idiot, but I just cannot get this to work for me. I am looking at my P3 connected to a K3. It is connected between the IF In on the P3 and IF Out on the K3. When looking at the P3 display, on all frequencies, I do not see the actual frequency of the VFO, I see 0,

I experienced this problem when I first got my P3. The fix was simple: replace the coax patch cable between the K3and the P3. It has been fine ever since. Bill W2BLC K3-line -- Many of life's problems can be solved by simply deciding what we can do without. - John Dolan

It's leakage of an internal signal from the K3 [or maybe even the P3 but I doubt it] into your P3, most probably through the cabling. It moves when you tune because it's coming from the radio. It's like some fairy tale or bad dream... you can chase it but you'll never ever catch it. [:-)

Yesterday while on the radio I notice on my P3 screen a signal (so I thought) the band was basically dead other than this signal. As I tried to tune to it the signal would move. No matter how close I tried to get to the so called signal it kept the same distance from my VFO A tuning indication.

Thanks for the help. The parameter initialization did it. This is the first time I have had to do this and I pretty much figured I had changed something inadvertently. I probably did, but this cut to the chase so i wasn't trying to find out which one. Once again thanks. Russ Edelen, KG7VQ

I don't know what happened but my P3 suddenly has no spectrum display and the waterfall is solid pink at all span settings. I tried to reset the reference level but the only setting option available is nan. The P3 still tracks the K3 VFO. I tried to reset the scale, power cycled the P3,

Russ, That's pretty bizarre. Try doing a parameter initialization as described in the Troubleshooting section of the manual. Alan N1AL On 03/30/2014 05:10 AM, Russ wrote: I don't know what happened but my P3 suddenly has no spectrum display and the waterfall is solid pink at all span
