For digimodes like WSPR I use a Microham Digikeyer and set the K3 Line Out
level to 10, which
is the maximum recommended before the possibility of distortion is introduced.
At this level I have
to set the Digikeyer RX input control to max to obtain proper decoding etc and
being at maximum
I prefer a constant rate myself. That variable rate feature always gives me
trouble.
Being totally blind, I count revolutions to get reasonably close to where I
want to be.

Elecrafters,
i just read the instruction manual for the KDVR3,
there is no hint how the audio is routed. Questions:
1. Is the audio from the mic routed through the tx-eq when recording?
2. Or is it routed through tx-eq when played back? (makes sense)
3. Is RX-Audio routed through rx-eq when

Trevor,
If you have AGC enabled in the K3, the Line Out level
can be increased considerably beyond 10. Although I
find Line Out at 10 works very well with the DigiKeyer
input level at 3:00, I have run the Line Out as high
as 70 without distortion as long as the AGC is set to

I have a K2 with a KPA100 and KAT100 in a separate enclosure. It had been
working on my lossey loop but I decided to try a ground mounted Hi-Q 4/160.
After connecting the antenna, I began trying to tune to the various bands.
It seemed to be tuning to a low SWR when the control panel just froze
Thanks for that Joe, reassuring to know that levels higher than 10 can be
accommodated without
problem.

Well, I use AGC-S and have never felt the need to change any of the other agc
parameters so
they are all set to default values -

Builders of the STAR rave about the tuning scheme Peter Rhodes has in
it. I built MY version of STAR with my own software and couldn't get my
variable rate stuff to work very well. KK7P is familiar with it, and no
doubt he can do better than I did.

Keep that dummy load attached, and set the power knob to zero. That K2
is going into transmit, so you want to protect the PA from harm while
figuring out what is going on.
Remove anything that may be plugged into either the paddle jack or the
mic jack and try again.

I am playing with my Microham MK2 and have learned that,
the K3 must be in extended (k31) command mode for the MK2 to switch correct
between audio or fsk data modes
When the K3 is powered on, the mode setting is always standard k30.
Putting the k31 command via a terminal is not a big issue
Hugo,
That sounds like a programing deficiency in the Microham MK2. The fact
that the K3 defaults to K30 on power on is documented in the
Programmer's Reference as default.
If a device needs to use an extended mode command, it should query the
state - the K3 command can be used as a GET or a
Joe,
I beg to differ. The K3 does provide the information on the command
state via the 'K2n;' command and the 'K3n;' command. The K30 state is
clearly documented as the default.
I repeat, any software that needs to issue K31 commands must assure that
the K3 is capable of accepting those

changes the information reported in the
