I have seen this before when the 2.5mm key line jack just needed pushed home.
Rx without the key line causes the front LEDs to flash.

I started this email with another thought in mind. The more I typed, the
more I thought I may be wrong about what I was thinking.
First, let me emphatically state that I *know* the K3 will just let you
plug into a computer sound card - I get that. I like something between
my radio and
Joel,
If you are using the E-MU 0204 between the computer and the K3, that
satisfies your desire to have something other than the default sound
card between the K3 and the computer. Just tell the computer to use the
on-board card for normal windows sounds and tell your digital modes
When working split, is there any reason why I have to be able to
decode both the DX (or split station [i.e. W1AW/x]) and the calling
station?
It's not absolutely necessary but it makes working split - especially
in big pile-ups - much easier if one can tell where the target is
listening.
Sean,
For a first time builder, I recommend you simply follow the instructions
in the manual. There are only a few components that require desoldering
when adding the options .
I would suggest that you add the Front Panel components for the KSB2
option while you have the Front Panel Board
My K3-KPA-KAT works great with all three betas and a new Windows utility for
KPA. Two solid days and no retuning or faults when I get too into the mic.
Thanks Elecraft for all the great help and continuing support.

This appears to work very well. The KAT500 following the VFO on the K3 is a
tremendous improvement. I like it.
Would it be possible to make the ATU TUNE button work with the

outputs on the KAT500 would pretty much make the

Thursday I ordered my K3 and P3. All the images I
see show the P3 on either the right or left side
of the K3. But it seems having the P3 screen just
above the display of the K3 would be an easier way
to operate.
Is there any reason not to locate the P3 that way

Having the P3 on top of the K3 has worked fine here for many years
with no problems. Your equipment configuration is mostly a matter of
operating convenience.

There are air inlet vents over the PA area and an up-firing speaker on top.
I use an inexpensive Costco 3-tierSeville Classics Bamboo + Steel shoe

This shelf is much more robust than its predecessor. It
I have a shelf above my K3 which would allow the P3 to sit flat. My rotor is

whatever with no ill effects.

During field testing of the newest firmware for the K3, KPA500 and KAT500,
after a good exercise of it I was asked to post my observations and I did in a
previous email to the list. There have been a few tweaks and the latest field
test versions have been released as public Beta versions.
Hi Guys,
i've taken a Microkeyer II with his cables for K3 ( the one with the rear jack
for mic ), i've been able to set-up everything for RTTY and CW, but i'm having
big problems with phone and PSK31/JT65 .
I've connected an condenser mic to the rear of MKII with the supplied RJ45
adapter ,
If you aren't already familiar with it, get some solder wick. Radio

braided copper wire. Lay the end on a solder joint, heat it with the
iron and it wicks up excess solder so you can easily remove components

The solution is to move the MCU crystal frequency slightly so that the spur is

What software are you using for digital modes - see the configuration
examples in microHAM Router (Help | download documents) or on-line in
the MK II area at www.microHAM-USA.com/support.html.
When using MK II with a K3, the audio switching tab in microHAM Router
should be set as follows:
In over five years of ownership I've never heard this birdie before so I don't
know whether it's new or I just missed it before.
The birdie is S9 on 7.067 MHz and tunes at a 6X rate in the negative direction.
It's definitely internal. Anyone else have this?

I find that my hands use the knobs on the P3 far
more that the K3. I estimate the ratio of P3 to
K3 use is 4:1 respectively.
I operate 99.99% CW, so my input is based on
primarily CW operation.
I suggest you try it out for a few days, when you
are active on the air, in the side position
Hmm. I found my arms and wrist got tired when
having to access the knobs and controls when the
P3 sat on top of the K3: Good point, Jim -- I
don't like my knobs too high. The K2/100 atop the
relatively thin KAT100 works well in that regard.
I'll play with it when I get it!

Hello
I saw in the manual of K3 that CW QRQ is temporarily turned OFF with
SPLIT.
Will be in the future any way to use it in SPLIT mode or is impossible?
I usually use SPLIT when running to pick up calls few Hz up and down, like
it instead of RIT because of the large knob of VFO A
Jorge,
listen using RX B and transmit with RX/TX A with full QSK at QRQ speeds.
I am using macros inspired by ZL2IFB:
SPLIT
RT0;XT0;FR0;DV0;BW0040;SWT13;SWT13;UP4;SB1;BW0100;MN111;MP002;MN255;
UNSPLIT

Jorge,
AFAIK, probably not. The frequency must be shifted from RX to TX, and
with QRQ in effect it is not possible to shift that fast. A K3 with
'chirp' on the ham bands would not be a nice thing to hear.

Hi Phil,
I had my P3 on top of my K3 for about a year until I got the SVGA card and
added an additional monitor which is now suspended over the K3. There's no
heat build up problem but if the K3 bale is up then I guess the P3 could
slide a bit when pushing P3 buttons. I used some of that rubbery
I’ve used a SignaLink SL-1+ for years with an Icom 756PROIII and a laptop.

connectors of the K3. It seems to work OK except that there didn’t seem
Carl,
Check your SignaLink configuration (see the SignaLink documentation) to
be certain it is set for Line output rather than Mic level output - you
should not have to set your soundcard level to the maximum.
Note on the K3, you must drive the audio sufficiently to produce 4 bars

Hi Mike,
The mount was never developed because there were too many good
alternatives available elsewhere. This doesn't mean we won't market a
mobile mount, but I would say it's not really in our plan at this
time.
One of the best alternatives I've found can be seen here:

Does that mean that only a couple are correct?

Good Evening,
Here in Oregon the weather has returned to normal; incessant rain
showers with fog and periods of high wind. At my elevation the
precipitation switches to snow now and then to keep things interesting.
When snow level drops into the valleys is when things go a little
crazy.
Flawless performance from 5 a.m. this morning right through 10 p.m. this
evening when I shut down for the night. The ATU tracked the K3's RX frequency
perfectly and all across the bands
And never once initiated a tune on TX RF.
As of shutdown, I had just shy of 250 QSO's search pounce only
