This is driving me nuts. Need sound card/OS expert help.
Installing the same PCI sound card which worked in XP in a WIN7 machine
(WIN7 drivers) resulted in the disappearance of the playback wav file
choice. Additionally the mobo sound card has the same issue. XP does
show the WAV file choice.
It never cease to amaze me how you learn something new about our radios
everyday. I always used a sound card previously and always thought split was
disabled in data a!

Here is a different problem for K2 gurus:
Using a Kenwood MC-60, when keyed it toggles the K2 into transmit,

Hand mic or Heil with foot switch works fine.
Batteries in or out of MC-60 makes no difference. It worked for
This can easily be RFI in the shack. What kind of cabling, antenna, or
grounding change have you made recently? Have you had the K2 under repair
recently?
Causes can be as simple as forgetting to tighten the shell of a PL259, or
the mic cable shield coming undone, or the mic cord connector
Leroy,
Because the K2 works OK with other microphones, that would suggest that
you have some problem with the MC-60 microphone itself.
Does the K2 drop out of transmit if you remove the mic plug from the K2?
Any chance you are using the LOCK button on the mic instead of the PTT
button? Do
eleMy MC-60 acts similarly. I've taken it apart,
cleaned contacts, etc. to no avail. I suspect the
for years part is the issue.
There are some sites which discuss repairing the
MC-60. Since I have other mics, I've pretty much
given up on mine.

I once had an MC-60 mic, brand new at the time several years ago. I got rid of
it after about 6 months. Thought it was the worst mic I ever owned. Well, not
quite the worst -- but I never did like anything about it. Since I am on SSB
so rare these days, mostly CW, I just use the stock K3
I use a Kenwood hand mike (M43?) with the K3. My very early MH2's button is too
stiff, but I still use it on those rare times when I use my K3 on SSB. Since I
have the Rework Eliminator in the K2 I'll eventually set it up to use the
Kenwood mic.

I am new to the list, and did not find this in the archives or other materials.
If this has been discussed or otherwise, a pointer to the data would be great.
When selecting filters for various operational modes on the K3, I was wondering
if the 6k filter is ‘Required’ for ESSB operation, or
OK - got it resolved. Doing it the “old” way (using the MIC jack) worked OK,
but not on SSB - only CW. So, after getting some sleep and morning coffee, I
re-read Wayne’s note and the light bulb went on. I do have the Elecraft ACC2
Module (part number E980232) plugged into my ACC2 jack and the
Sub receiver all of sudden does not produce signal. Audio is not dead, but
cannot hear the VFO B signal in split operation. Where should I start to
find what has gone wrong? ..mike

Does anyone have a Macro to put the KAT500 in Tune mode AND THEN put
the K3 into TUNE mode? I'd like to add it to some on the new N1MM+
macro buttons.
Thanks,

You can't use the terminal program and the PX3 at the same time. If you

Hi Mike,
The most common (and easiest to correct) reason for this is incorrect
antenna selection for the SUB RX. If you hold the BSET button it will
momentarily flash which antenna is being used by the SUB RX on the lower
display. You probably want to be using the same antenna as your MAIN RX so
According to the schematic, the slide switch on the mic, the Lock
switch and the PTT switch are all in parallel. One would have to
assume that one of the three switches has a moderate resistance when
open (not completely open) that is just low enough to keep the rig
keyed but not low enough to
Dick, K8ZTT has the winning answer:
Turn on the sub receiver, then check to see what input you are using for
the sub. Turn on the sub receiver, then HOLD (not push) the RX/ANT
button (next to the power switch) and make sure you are not using the AUX
input (it needs to be MAIN). The one in use
PSK D encodes and decodes in the KX3, PSK A uses sound card/PC for decode.

Well, I've been doing lots of measurements and inspections and I'm still not
sure what is the matter.
As suggested I rechecked the DC voltages on Q6 and got 1.03 V on the base and
0.25 V on the emitter. The difference is 0.79 V - high, but plausible.
The emitter resistor R50 measures 1.4

I have been doing some testing using WSJT-X, and other digital modes, with my

Receive works pretty good with decodes on WSJT-X at –19 to an occasional decode
at –24.
On transmit using various digital software and modes, when I transmit at 5
watts the KAT500 has problems.
I tune up with 20 watts, all is fine, 1.0 swr. But then I transmit with
power at around 5 watts, in a digital transmission, the KAT500 starts a
tuning cycle, then ends in a fault condition. If I transmit with the power
above about 10 watts, clear up to 100, everything works perfect?

Hi Emory,
The KAT500 design is optimized for 10W through 1000 W operation, with better
tuning above 20W. It is not designed as a QRP tuner. It can be used at 5W
levels, thought we do not guarantee this, if it is pre-tuned first at higher
power (20 W +) on each freq and then run in manual

Gary advised you to take it out of Auto mode once you've trained it with
higher power and stored settings.

I would like to see a way of locking out ANT2 in the KXPA100 amplifier. The
same button is used for TUNE and ANT select, and it is too easy to switch
antenna ports when you are trying to tune the autotuner. Perhaps something
settable in the configuration utility?
Thanks for your
You weren't the first to ask for this. You can enable or disable antenna
connectors by band with the KXPA Utility. See help text and the Configuration
tab.
Use current production versions of firmware and the Utility.
