Prior to the announcement of the svga option, the rf sensor was already
known about.
Then it was noted that the rf sensor was one of two more features to come.

Hi all,
Suddenly I discovered that there is a big crack in the VFO B knob extending
from the set screw. Anybody heard about that one before? Rig has been

My K3 is over 3 yr.s old. I read the posts got the flashlight out. I
can see feel a crack across the front of the knob. About 1/4'' left of
the set screw. Still seems OK. Anyone else see cracks or feel them on
knob B. The 1st yr. I had two of the inner knobs on the AF RF controls
break.
I doubt it unless the K3 is modified to accept computer graphics files
and generate the SSTV audio. There is a big difference between CW,
RTTY and PSK31 decode when one can transmit paddle CW/RTTY/PSK and
SSTV decode when there is no matching SSTV generation capability.

Hello Harry,
I'm about to follow your lead and install the Noctua fans in my K3. Did you
have to use alternate mounting hardware for the fans? I see that the Noctua fan
is 25mm thick, vs 15mm for the stock Utech fan and so the mounting bolts will
be too short to hold the Noctua fan?
Thanks,

see 400 or 500 KHZ.

We just added per-band SPAN settings to the PX3 (and will later add it to the
P3). We're also adding a menu setting to quantize the SPAN selections to 2, 5,
10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 kHz. This behavior would be user-selectable; the
default would be continuously variable, as it is at present.
Would it make more sense for it to be per-mode rather than per-band? For
example, I can imagine on CW you might want to zoom in more than on SSB. Maybe
some P3 owners can comment?
