Hello,
Here is my story -
Bought a 4 month old K3/10 off ebay (yes) from another radio operator in
Texas. Unit arrived in excellent physical condition except that it won't
transmit any audio using the MH2 hand mic.
The radio has -
* K3/10
* KAT3
* 2.7 kHz 5 pole filter (standard)
* 5ppm
I am looking for a P3 with SVGA, or a just a p3 and the SVGA from someone else.
Doesn’t matter. I can put them together.
Thanks, 73,
Bill, W0WFH

Thanks to a tip from Mike NF4L I turned on Tech Mode in Config
and was able to get REF CAL (according to the manual). Then turning off Tech
Mode and back
to XVN OFS tapping 0 (according to the manual) got me the ability
to tune the OFS to the calculations from REF CAL.

Interesting subject. I however only travel north and south since I live in
central CA. east and west have little meaning. But, here is what I do which is
quite simple.

Hi Everyone,
I have tried my K3 on 6 meters and was treated to a pile of large S3 birdies up
and down the band. Tech support says that condition is normal for 6 meters and
to solve the situation when a birdies lands on a real signal is to use the
filter shift. Not a real good solution to the
Gang,
I just upgraded my K3/100 with the KXV3, K144XV, and FM filter. Everything
has the latest firmware. Here's the rub. My XV222 works FB when connected
to my normal IF radio (FT817) running 0.5W. When I reset the jumpers for
full K3 mW interacing and separate RF in/out and control via a newly

Check the position of JP5 and JP6 - they should be on pins 2 and 3 for 1
mW drive.
It is also possible that the Q6 circuit is not functioning properly. It
is bypassed for the higher drive power, and only in-circuit for 1 mW drive.

There are transmissions on APRS (144.800 MHz in Europe, 144.39 in the USA) that
not only give names and frequencies of local repeaters but some 2m rigs will
automatically QSY their second band there.

I have several birdies on both 6 (K3) and 2 meters (K3+XV144) - most can be
traced to the computer or router/Ethernet radiation. Shielded Ethernet cables

Hi Phil,

Some have all their repeaters on the same RF frequencies and use
Dave,Birdies are normal on 6 meters, it has nothing do with the K3. I have

Dave,
It's virtually impossible to avoid some weak birdies on each band in a
high-dynamic range, down-conversion superhet. That said, on 6 m there should be
very birdies in the weak-signal area (the part of the band typically used for
CW and SSB work).

Birdies are radio internal not source external. If you disconnect the antenna
and they go away, they aren't birdies.

Someone gave me a vintage Hallicrafters SX-62 receiver with external speaker.
Both are in fair shape, and could probably be of some value with a good
cleaning. Based on advice from a radio refurbisher, I have not plugged in the
receiver, and I'm pretty sure this unit hasn't been plugged in for

It does exist for some systems. There is a Repeater Book app for

Mel,
That capability is available right now to hams using APRS if the radio
supports it. I do not use it that way since if I am using APRS I have text
messaging (chat) and I don’t really need a voice mode. As a minimum, an APRS
program can show you repeater locations along your route and
Thanks Mark. I knew of the APRS system, just thought a simple method would do
the trick without added equipment.

Hi, one and all, my K3 has turned somewhat deaf on 80m only -- transmission
on all bands is unaffected and the reception on all but 80 is just fine.
Using a signal generator provides S9 on all band *but* 80 -- there it's
down around S1 or S2. What should I be looking at?
It's serial number 584

While the K3 is not designed for direct operation at 600m and below (filtering
is designed to protect 160m operations from BC band interference) the K3
features that support use of transverters make this rig one of the best for use
as an IF. There are separate ports and electronic switching for
It would really be nice if K3 would support 80m as a transverter frequency.
If it did it would enable 3.5-4.0Mhz to reflect the full 500Khz from a low

Folks,
I went to turn off my K3 (S/N 417) with its power switch (as I always do)
but the radio immediately restarted with its normal clicking and LEDs
flashing. That appears to be my new normal; I can only shut the K3 down via
the power supply.
I recall someone having this problem before
of course I meant upconverter not transverter...

I still feel transverter is appropriate (transceiver converter)

I had a similar problem with Pin 8 on the accessory port being grounded by way
of an interface it was testing.
I snipped Pin 8 out of the DE-9 connector and the K3 went back to normal
behavior.
Do you have anything on the ACC socket?

Why not use 40 m (7.0-7.5 MHz) as the I.F.? This is already available (see XVn
IF menu entry), and there's no reason why it can't work as an I.F. for a
low-band transverter.
