The RemoteRig system generates its own CW using an internal protocol,
which solves latency issues. You use your key at the control end and the
radio side RRC generates a clean CW without hiccups. It has error
control and is (I believe) very robust. I know of someone doing 40 wpm

Welcome to the world of Elecraft.
Do stay around - no harm done. If you are using Nabble to respond, know
that those of us on the official Elecraft reflector see only what you

Dan,
Yes, if you have both the CAT PTT turned on and are using the SL PTT
line, that may cause strange happenings. Good to hear that you now
have a handle on it.
Let me throw in a suggestion since you say it has been working before -
look carefully at your serial port or USB to serial
You may have fallen afoul of what seems to be a race condition in the
K3's firmware. When software (CAT) PTT and hardware PTT (from any of the
hardware inputs, be it the AUX jack, the PTT IN jack or RTS or DTR on
the RS232 port) are both configured from the same software, and both

As outside observer, it seems the K3 is more of a process than a
product. I doubt it will ever be a finished product, with a static
list of features and capabilities.
One must remember, James, that Elecraft is a business, and a very

I am driving the K3 directly with a serial port from my computer, and in

There are IMD graphs of KX3 at different power and voltage levels in FILES on
KX3 group at yahoo. IMD3 levels sharply increase with higher power and lower
voltage.
The IMD is are important only IMHO if KX3 is used at very high power level
on a crowded band. It is irrelevant for QRP operation.
Unfortunately, those are NOT AA size cells. 18650 cells are much larger.

It was challenging and also fun to make 35 contacts with the

Also, when the KX3 is used to drive a KXPA100, the rig is typically operating
at well below maximum power, reducing IMD levels.

I am in the process of switching ISPs, and thanks to the genuises at the
old ISP, the Pro Audio Engineering website will be unavailable for a day

Thanks for your patience.

I have been using this without any trouble on WIN 8.1 Pro then,
I installed a new hard drive, and I can not re install the program.
When I go to install I have a pop up that states. requires .net framework

When I go to install this I get a message that reads The .NET Framework
4.5 and
Install .net framework 2, which does not require you to uninstall anything.

I would class the K3 as a Middle Aged Product, a great deal of the
originally planned capabilities and adjunct gizmos [KPA500, P3, KAT500,
transverters] now exist, most have for some time, and the FW updates are
tending more and more to small tweaks, occasional fixes, and responses

I noticed that the dual PB function only works if the mode is cw and dual PB is
set to APF in the tech mode menus.
Is there a downside to always leaving this to APF as opposed to NOR? I mean you
can turn APF on or off if set to APF, but not if set to NOR. Does the NOR

Hi all, I work on K3's all day and would like to advise/remind folks

Time and time again folks say they unhooked their antenna but the

Tom,
See page 35 of the K3 manual.
If APF is on, the SHIFT control set the audio frequency that you wish to
hear. NORM restores that audio frequency to your set sidetone pitch -
no other function is enabled.
The APF filter is quite narrow. While there is no downside to leaving

I've found that the APF is very sensitive to the multitude of AGC
settings available. I haven't actually broken the code yet, but there
are times an inaudible signal without APF rises to copyable enough to
get a Q with APF. Other times, not so much.
