It is true that the WK in remote configuration does decode the padle input and
hence cannot send a character before it is finished. But this does NOT lead to
what you mention. There is absolutely no problem in sending N6ML at any speed
on a Server/Client set up. What You may have run into

I have the W2 between the K3 and the KPA500. Its useful to monitor what the K3
is looking at and its power output and the KPA500 meter is showing its output
power.

keying circuit, and optionally the unpcbs.com Internal Mic Adapter.
These functions are included on a single circuit board that plugs into the

Hi,
I have two K3s running equally on one band in SSB. If transceiver A
transmits, transceiver B should be muted to protect the RX of transceiver B.
When in SSB and a microphone connected and just pressing the PTT, you also
send with transceiver B.

Hi Poul-Erik,
I observed the problem, then explored the cause. I assure you it is
real (or was at the time). Here's an attempt at depicting the problem
graphically:

I don't see any way around
One way to understand the difference is to take a look at

receiver performance chart, but the Sienna isn't on it at all.

Your post was the first I'd heard of the Sienna

checked for reviews and also went to their

Now someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but each rig has it's

For those who have expressed interest in purchasing one, you will be

Final status will not be known until all payments have been made as there is

I have seen only two such rigs in the past few years. Both were for sale at

I see what you mean. Are you sure the speed of the Client WK was the default
value? Another point maybe that I have set for autospace, although I dont think
that is the problem. What was the keying speed of each of the WKs with the case
you present?
All I can say that here it works real
Maybe more importantly, a great rig with great support. I like the fact
that my K3 is a very good transceiver, but I haven't wanted to buy an
FT5000 is because of the support and the fact that I won't have to buy
another rig next year if Elecraft improves something.

Am I reading this correctly? You are driving an AL80B with the KXPA100

SWR fault is coming from the AL80B input circuit not your antenna (the KXPA
can't see the SWR on the other side of the AL80B). probably something bad

The high SWR happens even when the AL80b or Palstar tuner is not connected. In

nothing in between to confuse the amp except a barrel connector.
Yes you can drive a larger amp with the kx3 and KXPA100. It is covered
Have you tried any testing with a 50 ohm dummy load? After the KX3, after the
