You can install the KPAIO3 interface from your KPA3 Option kit. It will
replace the jumper block in any case. You can install it only, then finish
up with your tests and calibrations before going back to finish the KPA3
installation.

Hi all,
I connected the XG2 signal generator to my K3 and I've injected 50microV
into the antenna. I have the standard S9 but when I rise the power to 13 and
up signal drop down to S8. If I turn the knob to 12W or less signal turn
back to S9.
I've noted this behavior on signals on air but to be

Check the reflector archives for the past 3 days. The cable wiring
required was discussed then in several posts.

Thanks for your reply.
Yes, I did read p.9 of the XV144 operation manual. However, it only shows

I have paralleled both an N3ZN and Begali signature to key my K2's. I bit
expensive for keying SSB transmit, but I think very impressive if not
overkill. Can't wait to do the same for the K3 on the order list. Maybe
I'll use just one. And move the only the Begali to the K3?! A bit

Still learning my K3. CW Text Decode works flawlessly on W1AW bulletins
and code practice [OK, visual decode on code practice is sort of
oxymoronic]. Quality of decode seems to be very sensitive to the THR
setting, but when you get it right, it is nearly perfect. Not so
perfect on real
This is something I thought already behaved the way I want it to, but it
doesn't seem to. I've read through the manual, so if I'm missing something,
somebody please tell me.
If I'm copying a 6m CW signal in USB mode and switch the K3 to CW(REV) mode
(which corresponds to USB), I want to see
