You could. But since there are MODE UP/DN switches, I think you'll find that you never need more than two key taps to change modes. The mode is also remember per-band. Also check out the per-band quick memories (M1-M4). You could set them up for as many as four different modes on each band, so you can quickly get to favorite starting place for each mode. > > AM Broadcast - yes, that explains what I noticed, seems to really > attenuate anything below 1200 Kc It's about 20-25 dB by the time you get to 500 kHz. This helps protect the K3's PIN-diode T/R switch from extremely strong low-frequency signals. If you want to bypass the high-pass filter, you can install a KXV3 module and connect your AM broadcast RX antenna to RX IN. > 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.
