Hi to the group,
Is it possible to write a macro command switching on or off the AF peak filter ?
I do not see anything in the programmer reference document.
Best regards

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any chance that the KX3 might be offered in the more
traditional desktop configuration i.e. user interface on a front panel,
connectors on the back? This would be for those of us not interested in a
trail-friendly package but rather a small high performance home
It already is, Jim; it's called the K3, currently available for
immediate despatch. For QRP, order it without the 100W PA. Or maybe the
K2 if you prefer to build it yourself.

For my part, like the KX1, it is quite comfortable to operate as-is in a
home station environment. Built in legs in the rear can be extended
and make it quite easy to use the tuning knob and the buttons if you
prefer that over the flat on the desktop position. In a few months,

Hi Jim,
I think you'll find that the KX3 works just as well at home as in the
field. The tilt feet in the back hold the radio at a very convenient
operating angle, and all the cables we supply have right-angle plugs
to keep things looking sharp.
I'd encourage anyone with a KX3 to keep a

I'm rather hoping that this will be included in further expansion of the P3.
It's an expensive potential solution though, if you don't already have one!

If you can convince the authors of the software that provides the

Thanks for the point to G4ILO's site. KCOMM looks very close to what I want.

Size ignoring knobs and connectors (i.e., just the chassis):
KX3: 3.45 x 7.45 x 1.7 = 43.7 in^3
FT-817: 7.1 x 5.3 x 1.5 = 56.4 in^3
The FT-817 is 29% larger by volume using this metric.
If we include knobs and connectors, the KX3 is a bit larger:

That says we can obtain updates for WinXP until April 8, 2014. That
