I did assemble mine in January 2009, I was 86, and just completed a P3 last
week ( honestly, it's easy to do, much easier than assembling a K2, which I
did in 2002, + amplifier,ATU , DSP, audio filter etc...)
It reminded me the good old days with Heathkit, and
Hello
A good friend of mine, F6CVM, has a K3 as well as an Icom transceiver. He
uses an old Heath SB 230 as an amplifier.
When he connects Icom/SB 230, no problem.
But if he connects K3/SB 230, as soon as he plugs the cinch into the K3 key

I have used a SB 220 for about10 years, with an Icom 751 first, then with a

Hi
Exactly what I've been using for a couple of weeks : the balun is a 4 :1
Guanella type described in April 2010 QST. I can tune the set up from 160m
to 10 m.
The ideal system for a lazy old man !

Thanks to Gary Surrency, the Hi Sig displays at last disappeared and the

Gary said the KPIO3 could be the cause of the trouble. So, I uninstalled it,
as well as the 100w module, downloaded the DSP firmware, and restarted the
K3 in the 10 w config'. All went well, so I

Hello everyone
I tried the 3630 khz this morning, as I did last Sunday, heard just a

I have used such a set up for many years - actually since I have been using

even use a Heathkit SB-220 with the Icom, provided the K2 is turned

Thanks, Trevor for your info.
I bought 4 years ago a German ( was it a Chinese made stuff...?) desoldering

Someone on the list some time ago gave a very efficient way for cleaning the
