For easy band access, I am using the quick band memories laid out such
that 1 is 160m to 0 is 6m excluding 60m. This gives an easy two tap
band change. These occupy memory locations 00 to 09.
For convenience I have entered the WWV frequencies into memory locations

Nate,
May I suggest that you use a 'workaround' until that problem can be
resolved. Copy the quick memories into 10 other memory locations - say
memories 10 thru 19. Then if something (including punching the wrong
buttons), you can restore the quick memory locations easily.
I have my

Nate,
The answer is in the Owner's Manual. Search for CONFIG:MEN 0-9
If the parameter is set to BAND SEL, frequency memories 0-9 (“quick
memories”) will act like band switches. Once this mode has been
selected, exit the menu, then use V M to assign individual bands to
keypad switches 0-9.
I have decided to minimize my station to a KX3 and possibly the matching
amp down the road. The KX3 will be both the home and portable station.
Consequently I have my K3/100 and P3 up for sale.

Hi, this is Mark Griffin, KB3Z. I noticed last evening while on 40 meter SSB
that when driving my amplifier that I had the K3 set at 48 watts input. As I
was hitting the tune button I noticed that the reading on the K3 was now at 50
watts. But, when I took the amplifier off line it was back to
Glen,
Remember that during tuning, the relays must be hot-switched, so a low
tune power is necessary if relay life is to be maintained.
If you have different SWR at different power, I would suggest that you
look for marginal connections in your antenna system.
Actually, I would not be
Is this the autotune leavel, if yes then I'm not sure.
If it's the level produced when you hold the TUNE button, then yes, in the

That is very reassuring information, Fred, thank you.
So I understand you are using two fuses, one for each pole. What amp rating?
My PCM includes overcurrent discharge protection at 42A with a protection
delay time of 20 ms.
Does that sound like it has the fuse built in?

Yes, this is a very helpful menu item. I normally keep TUN PWR set at 20
watts, which allows amp tuneup to be started at lower power with less
likelihood of damage due to a switching or antenna mistake.

Hi Guys, I checked the Power Supply Voltage and the K3 gave me these readings.
On receive it reads 13.9 volts but on Transmit/Tune it reads 13.4 volts. Plus,
the Amps on receive is .89 to .91 and on transmit it is 11.23 to 11.25 amps.
Could it be that I have a power supply issue? I find it hard
Mark,
I don't think it is anything to worry about. That is only a 4%
variation which is quite small in such things in amateur equipment.
The power control loop is controlled digitally. I don't know how many
bits are involved in the calculation, but I would bet the DAC steps are
