Something changed in my K3 Config, use to have the internal spkr off for use
with external noise cancelling speaker. This has to be the dumbest question
ever asked, How to turn off internal spkr?

Hi Todd,
Of course Oliver is correct and I would like to add one comment. For the
W1AW/n operations be sure to lock VFO B. You don't want your transmit
frequency to change if you accidentally reach for and rotate the VFO B knob.

I am guessing that you are using the phone jack for the external
connection - if so, turn off Speaker + Phones in the menu.
If my guess is not correct, tell us about how you have the external
speaker connected.

Additional caution DO NOT plug a mono plug into the speaker jack. A
stereo plug must be used, even with a mono speaker.
Two speakers are nice, and allow use of the several versions of audio
phasing effects.

I doubt your problems are because of the firmware, but the answer about
the best version of firmware to use is to always load the latest
production version.
Beta versions can be useful if you are experiencing problems that the
beta release corrects. Remember that beta versions are usually OK
The Signalink USB works well with my K3 as well

Another way to do what you want might be to switch some attenuation into the
receive path during transmit. I assume you are using the RX antenna port for

Hope this helps.

Fred,
That is a good question. Until you asked it, I didn’t notice that if the KX3
Utility is *NOT* running, the PX3 copies fine. If the KX3 Utility is running
both the KX3 Utility terminal and the PX3 have bad copy. The copied text in
the KX3 Utility terminal and the PX3 don’t match
It looks more like a interface bandwidth issue than a PX3 issue. Each
connection to the KX3 ports must be serviced separately.

of the situation, switching in something that would shift resonant frequency or
otherwise disturb the matching would do it (nearly

I suspect that the PX3 and KX3 Utility are both using the TB; command to poll
the KX3 for incoming text. Since the KX3 clears the buffer after responding to
a TB; command, this would cause bad copy on both the PX3 and KX3 Utility. Text
displayed in the Utility would be missing on the PX3 and
Perhaps the problem is due to noise on the computer ground. The PX3 has

That's correct. You can copy decoded text using KX3 Utility or on the

Thanks for the info about not running the PX3 decode at the same time as the

I’ll use it for decode as well and turn off the text decode on the PX3.

Why? It's an unbalanced interface!
Yes, that's the problem. The power supply in the computer probably has
bypass/filter capacitors between the line and the chassis. So with an
unbalanced connection to the KX3, there will be 60 Hz (and harmonics) AC
current flowing in the cable shields.
