For it to lock your computer totally it is usually a problem in the driver
area and I would suspect a problem with the USB to RS232 interface if that
is what you are using. I know proper RS232 ports are rare these days but you
may consider a PCI express type RS232 port. After some

I'd also wonder if there might be a background process (anti-virus app
or such) that interrupts the communication flow between the Logger app
and the K3, causing unpredictable data to be presented and then
interpreted as a not responding situation. Also, is the control

This might be caused by Windows putting a USB port to sleep. Windows
appears to be unable to detect when many programs, including N1MM
Logger, are using a USB port, and if it is allowed to, it will shut the
port down to save power after a period of assumed inactivity. This will
cause programs

Finding the type of RFI is very complex since there are so many sources with
similar footprints.
My P3 shows many types of noises form different directions. Neighbor on the
left, right and ahead. Directional antennas help. 3 el K7TJR rx array is
very useful as it allows to null 6 directions on

My guess it you have not set the menu CONFIG: TX INH. You have
choices of how you want it to work. (see page 19 of the K3 manual).
I select HI=inh so that a 5v voltage will inhibit the K3

transmitter to output RF. One

I found that kind of change to the backlight color would be very time-consuming
and expensive, requiring new tooling at the LCD manufacturer. This is not
practical for the KX3. Sorry about that.
Meanwhile, another approach would be to turn the backlight off and aim a
colored lamp at the KX3.
Hi Ian and all.
What you depicted Ian is what any FLEX-RADIO radio could do. It could be
really useful for phone and somewhat interesting for other modes.
Having a span of 200 KHz is really a big chunk of data to be shown and
not all humans could drive safely over it, let me say, with a

to back diodes internally instead of the

It can be used as a visible-receiver/spectrum analyzer by setting the IF
frequency to the piece
of the spectrum you want to look at.
In the manual see Advanced Operating Procedures Use with Other Radios
It may be a poor mans spectrum analyzer but in my opinion not a poor
performance one
Jim,
The P3 does only receive 200 kHz around the selected IF frequency.
The P3 is not dedicated to the K3, so it can cover a wide range of IF
frequencies. That means it is tunable (via the menu) from 455 kHz to
21.7 MHz. One way to do it is set the XCVR SEL menu to User and then
set the

I just put together a KAT500 and would like to be sure of this last step of

have the right power for it. My power supply
It's not that critical. Just 11 to 14 volts or so at an ampere max. The

You must mean KAT500, and I don't think so. At least I wouldn't try it.

I suspect that the power handling is not really dependent on the SWR, but rather on the
nature of the impedance that gives rise to that SWR (the resistance and both the magnitude
and the sign of the reactance).
One antenna system showing a 3:1 SWR might produce high voltages and low currents

Yes, for SWR of about 3:1 or better, it's good for USA legal limit. I'm
