I whole heartedly agree with both of you!! You would think the intelligence
level of the members of this list could understand this reflector IS NOT the
place to post off-topic subjects, but it doesn't seem to matter to those who

suggestion, create email filter for you email client, so that all

I use the reflector without emails. No sorting, no filters, no clogged
mailbox. I check the list on-line and only click on what holds interest
to me. In general, if it doesn't involve the K-Line - I have no interest
and just scroll past. Very easy - no technology involved!

it, but it enabled

To conserve desk space in my shack, I've always set my P3s on top of the
K3s (two for SO2R contesting). Because I have the K3s tilted up with the

simple that I'm ashamed to say I hadn't thought of it before -- small
There is a rubber/plastic non-slip material made by Dycem and used by
occupational therapists. It is really grabby, but not adhesive. It would be
great for keeping things from sliding around on a desk. I have not looked for
small quantities, but if you know a physical therapist or occupational

I contacted Dycem and the materials are available on-line. They have a sheet

This morning with the S0 on the K3 ( with antenna disconnected) the P3 is

With antenna connected the K3 shows S7 while the P3 level on the screen is
slightly below S0.

There's an explanation of the reasons for this in the P3 Owner's Manual

I had a similar problem just running a couple of devices off the USB ports
of my small Dell Desktop. The output voltage gets loaded down with a few
devices on the USB port. The solution was to purchase a USB expander with

USB was designed to handle hundreds of applications. USB has nothing to do with
RS232 com ports. The bridge is made in the driver software that tells the USB
to behave as if it were a RS232 device. I suspect you have conflicting drivers.
The solution is to change to drivers that do not
I have an AIMuhf (replaced an AIM4170). Both are fabulous instruments. And

I thought we were done with this thread, so I will only make this

I discovered this on my own and also had many helpful replies, mostly
pointing this out. My wife successfully did the manual upgrades and
the computer-in-question is running happily.

Further to what Fred said:
USB is unrelated to com ports *except* if you are using serial to USB cable
or converter. In that case an open com port is assigned. Much has been

Hi,
What do you wish the utility to do?
I run 9 USB devices, three on a hub and 8 serial ports of a usb to serial port

The P3 reads the K3 preamp and attenuator settings and adjusts its gain
accordingly for accurate amplitude display. The K3 can be set to either
take ATT/PRE into account to keep the S meter reading the same, or not,
depending on the SMTR MD menu setting. If set to NOR, that can be one

Newbie Dave, KX3 owner with built in ATU. I have a loop antenna feed point line

Ladder line doesn't like to be near stuff... Feed it with coax, even
with a high SWR on the coax your losses will be negligible over that
length. A 1:1 or 4:1 current balun at the feedpoint would probably be a
good idea, but isn't a deal breaker...

Dave,
Opinions on antennas are connected with a lot of myths and it works for
me opinions. You mmight want to read the Antenna and Transmission Line
article on my website www.w3fpr.com. It is not filled with formulas and
math, but can give you some idea of antenna system behavior.

I run a single USB connection from the PC to a 7 port powered USB hub. I

Hi Tom,
Reading this, I wondered if you might have something in your antenna
system that is going non-linear with higher power - the symptoms seem
consistent with that possibility. For instance, if you had something
that was arcing (e.g., a surge protector), or if you had a balun with a
What K3 Command would I use to determine what the display mode is in
Transmit, i.e. determine whether the bar graph is displaying CMP/ALC or
SWR/RF Output?
Alternatively, is there a command or sequence of commands which would allow
determining the power output as displayed on the bar graph, i.e.
KX3-K, #926 with roofing filter, 160/80M IMD factory upgrade, antenna tuner,
KUSB, cable set, latest firmware, NO OTHER OPTIONS! Never portable or
mobile, Mostly used as a third receiver, $995 plus shipping.
