get the opinion of someone who has listened to both.

Thanks for the VFO IND information.
Yes, I think you have a valid reason to want that feature, as long as the VFO
frequencies don't change unless you are QSX cross-band.
Thank you for the direct email exchange and enlightenment regarding VFO IND. I
enjoyed it.
I received a P3 late Friday and got it configured Saturday. After a
weekend of dxing with a minimal antenna setup, I 'm wondering how I ever
operated without the P3 since I'm finding dx that I wouldn't have found
without it. It has an added benefit in that I can tell if my neighbor's
I was able to work-em, when propagation peaked my way.
I've found that I can press the K2's B button down just enough to
shift to the xmit freq temporarily.
And that way I can pop back and forth between A and B so I can
follow along with the stations getting in.
Pile-ups are stange animals.
If the Split function were to include a A-B like I suggested
recently, this would not be an issue.
Some condemned this suggestion as a bad idea, but I doubt that they
operate much or they would know what a pain in the neck this is.
No, I operate More than enough to know how much of a
If VFO B is not on the same band, you are correct. However, there
are plenty of times that one might want to use cross mode split -
it is quite common in VHF operation.
You can avoid the VFO on the wrong band issue simply by setting
CONFIG:VFO IND = No. Therefore again, making the VFOs
I'm going to ask you to describe a scenario where an operator who
desires to go to SPLIT operation actually wants to get the SPL/NA
response from his K3.
There is no disagreement that the nobody wants to see Split N/A.
However, your fix is worse than seeing that reminder than the
other VFO

During the WPX RTTY contest this weekend I have noticed that my K3
will jump from AFSK A to PSK D. It happens whenever I change bands.
The data sub-mode is stored per band. In addition if you use M0-M9
as quick band change memories, the data sub-mode is stored/recalled
from those memories.
For whatever reason, they haven't been very loud here in Missouri. Charles,
S9SS, is usually quite loud, and when Martti was there as S9BB he had big
signals here. Maybe their vertical antenna setup isn't optimal for their
location. However, if you can hear them it's not hard to work them now that

I think you'll find that Digital mode info is stored with the 'Band'.
Also, as you get setup for a contest, go thru the bands you'll be using and
select the mode, and press AB twice and it will set the freq and mode
info on B same as A. Much easier when later you need to go 'split', this
step will

There's a lot you can do:
1) Search for BPL (or Plasma TV) Class Action Suits in the internet to
learn of many under way that you might join.
2) The ARRL is a good resource for actions being taken and for documenting
cases like yours to support lobbying efforts.
3) Write your Representative

Hello:
I was changing some of the settings on my KX1 in anticipation of the SPAR

I changed a lot of parameters and was not pleased with the way it was operating
so I decided

They haven't been very good here either until this afternoon. Worked them

I worked them at 1818Z today on 20. It's the first time I've heard them.
The Daily DX reported several days ago that they are having trouble with
their power source from the local hospital with frequent drop outs and have
not been able to run the amps all the time. Keep trying. They seem to be

Bill,
Well, it is fortunate you are not down to 2 bands after a reset.
The menu parameters that were restored to default are BFO, DDS, SIG,
B30. B80, and ATU. If you had the Sidetone pitch and level set to
anything other than the defaults, those need to be reset too. In other
words, if
They are on 30 meter CW right now - 10116.4 and they are listening up 1 to
2KHz. They are easily workable even though the signal on my 40 meter dipole
was only S3. A lot easier to work now that most of the big guns have gotten
tired of seeing how many times they can work 'em LOL.

My new this year K3 is exhibiting some strange behavior of the band
switch in the down direction... Sometimes it'll beep, and not change
bands, sometimes it'll change mode rather than band, occasionally it'll
actually do what it's supposed to do...
Ideas?

Can I somehow set default aggressiveness of the denoiser to

Not including projections, the KPA500 is exactly the same size as the K3.

Hi Tom,
The dimensions are essentially the same ...

I calibrated my K3 with the K3 utility with the XG2 , and set the Lvl Cal on
the P3 to -10.6 for a S9 sig.
but then when I went to the 6 Meter band I had to set the Lvl Cal to -22 to
get a S9 sig on the P3,
it's like there is not enough transfer gain when on the 6 meter band..even

Most of it works except it stays in transmit and the CW beeps at the
operating station but only sounds like a series of clicks over the air...
Here's my guess, Scott:
Perhaps it's working, ie. sending CW over the air, but it is zero beat with
the SSB frequency, and therefore nobody hears
