Thanks Wayne, replies/questions below. Modes - found the FM, currently shut off, so perhaps I should just create a macro to mode switch?
AM Broadcast - yes, that explains what I noticed, seems to really attenuate anything below 1200 Kc Memories - Using on a Macbook Air, I like Parallels, but too much to install for just doing the memory setting. I do greatly appreciate that Elecraft offers the Mac utilities for the K3 and P3, very nice to have that ability. More Feedback to Wayne Love, love, love the KPA500, you and your staff did an amazing job on that one, and running off 120 is very nice as well. Enjoying the building process, and look forward to the antenna tuner. Paired with the K3 and P3, I find little need to use my Icom 7700 and PW1 amp any longer. The K3 hands down as become my "go to" rig. Looking forward to the next set of Elecraft projects. Cordially, Bruce J.
