Hi Vince
I have the sub receiver and it is indistinguishable from the main receiver
when I have both set to the same bandwidth. I suspect that you may have the
attenuator on and/or the pre-amp off in the sub receiver if the difference
is so great.

Gerald,
You could do yourself a favour and order Fred Cady's (KE7X) book, The

Quite a few years ago I was running the comm's on one of the British
Antarctic Survey bases (Adelaide Is). My main TX used a Racal amp with
3 x 4-400 in parallel (if I remember correctly). It used a Pi-L
network. That network quite happily matched 20:1 SWR if necessary. The

I have a loaded K3. I use split frequently when working DX. Think of them
as two complete receivers, not merely two VFOs. While it is quite possible
to have totally independent and different settings, for that type of split

Don't even think about using that yellow core at T3 - that core must

For CW, this might be easy. A single MRFE6VP61K25H is used now commercially
for 2m: 2 W in 1 KW out. This is key down not pulse mode; see

Since W6PQL offers it for sale, he must have done lots of testing and
determined good reliability.
In CW,
When using the Heil adapter, you will have to use the little battery
box supplied with the CM500 because the Heil adapter for Kenwood had a
capacitor in the mic lead which blocks the DC from the K3 bias supply.
Save yourself a lot of trouble, and plug he CM500 in the back
mic/phones jacks. Set
Quite right, Mike. A Pi-L will match a wide range of impedances. What I was
saying was that, IIRC, the Pi-L provided the spurious signal rejection
required by the FCC over only a narrow range of impedances.

Hi, Bill.
Yeah, I understand all that, but it just seems that having a second
