Thanks to everyone who responded, both to the group and privately.
Still unresolved is whether it is the K3 or my cabling.
Before tackling the daunting task or checking the cables or tearing into
the K3, I'm going to borrow another transceiver and see if the problem is
still there.
If no, then
I recently added a KAT 500 to my K3 station. I modified the interface cable
to allow for remote power on off of the KPA via a macro key on the K3. Now
with the cable going from the K3 to the KAT and then to the KPA I have lost
the ability to remote the power on off of the KPA.
How have others
A sensor is close to completion for the P3 which will do what you want i
believe.
Perhaps you could ask Wayne for confirmation.

Good evening everyone,
I am just getting back into ham radio and I would like to find a well cared for
K3 that needs a new home. The best candidate should be fairly well equipped

bands work normally in split. Audio and rf cranked all the way up can hear
white noise but no signals. P3 shows normal signal spikes. When I hit a/b

I'm sure it would be easy to add a pickup to the sensor yourself. It
could be done with a toroid transformer placed on the center pin of one
of the coax connectors.

you must not loose connection when putting the KAT500 in line! I use the

A very difficult choice indeed. The P3 display can be studied to

Yes, it is very good once you get the hang of it. I move the peak just

The APF takes a little practice. Except when I'm NCS of our traffic
net, I run about 250 Hz DSP BW. I have found that the APF gets very
hard to tune with anything less than that and 300 Hz is even better.
Hi All,
There has been a fair amount of discussion here about which accessory for

do have an opinion.

On closer examination it was found that the BNC connector for the antenna was
lose (i.e., both pins were moving inside their soldered sockets).
Re-soldering these contacts seems to have resolved the problem.

Well close.. If by band decoder you mean the Elecraft KRC2, I do have

If the Panadapter will be the P3 it is on serial output from the K3 not
