If you get a 'net speed test from http://www.megapath.com/speedtestplus/ you will see latency and jitter stats. In my experience, they make QSK not an option, running, as they do, 30-60ms latency and 1-30ms jitter. Oh well. I use an MFJ422 (Curtis chip) keyer to get better control over other

Hi, after carrying out on air tests with several K3-100s  I found that a PSK signal becomes unacceptably wide over about 48 Watts out (indicated on the K3 meter and/or a power meter). 80 Watts out would not get you any friends on a crowded band. Similarly, the internal 10 Watt amp starts to

Chuck, You must set the rig's sidetone to zero to keep from driving yourself crazy. This is possible with virtually any rig (at least any modern rig I have used), not only the K3. You will have sidetone generated locally. For attaching an external keyer, refer to appendix B on page 228 of

Chuck, you are quite right about #1. It should say KAT500. We'll fix that. (Sometimes I slip and fall into the alphabet soup.) The amp is in standby when the KAT500 does a TUNE operation for any reason. That's what the KEY line does to automate the power control. It disables the amp while the SWR

Yes, the KAT500 is supplied configured for an amplifier other than the KPA500 rather than the KPA500 coming configured... I'll mention this to our manual author. The antenna tuner does its tuning with exciter (K3) power. The KAT500 has a relay that interrupts the amplifier's keying line. If

Good, I thought it had to be this way, but am easily confused. I looked at the manual again and specifically noticed this statement: *Clicking on Optimize for the KPA500 automatically selects that setting.* which does make it even clearer. Having the default at 29 watts is quite reasonable.
