Thanks, Joe. I knew there was some logical explanation. I did do a
search of previous posts before I asked my question and I didn't find
any post that was the direct answer I needed.

Therefore, at this juncture, the K3 is totally not up to the job when
it comes to broadcast band DX hunting. What's up here?
As documented here literally dozens of times, the TR switch contains a
high-pass filter with a 1600 KHz cutoff to protect the PIN diodes and
keep them from generating
I think understand this but then of course I thought I understood
Economics 101 in college which turned out to be seriously untrue ...
Turning the MIC GAIN way up on say an HT-37 increased the drive to the

I built a K3 kit with P3 last November (2014) and have been learning and
enjoying. Prior to that I had (and still have) a Yeasu FT450D with YT450
auto-tuner and SteppIR Vertical (33 foot max). Not sure if you are
referring to a yagi-like stepper? Anyway, for now here's how I've
The simple way to use a SteppIR antenna (any version) with K3 and
logging program is to use SteppIR's 9 pin Y cable and RTS_S13
transceiver interface cable.
The common leg of the Y cable (DB9F) connects to the computer
serial port or USB to serial converter. The Radio leg (DB9M)

Along this subject of BPF3 - When I assembled my K3 with sub rx - I put the
BPF3 in the sub rx - on the assumption that it might degrade the out of
band main rx protection with some filter blow by if I put it in the main
rx path. Now I wish I had put in in the main rx so I could use the P3
Perhaps it would be good for understanding to know that the audio
processing algorithms in a K3 are entirely digital. Any analog audio input
to the K3 is immediately converted to a number soup, and at that point any
analog mental pictures of what happens no longer apply.

When you're in or close to a ham band, the broader KBPF3 filters are not used;
the K3's narrow ham-band filters are used. This applies to both the main and
sub receivers. The KBPF3's filters are only used when you're far enough outside
a ham band to result in noticeable loss of

Joe,
I disagree with you, but it may be only in semantics - there *must* be a
control loop to obtain proper power control. How that is implemented is
different in the K2, K3, and KX3 as compared with other transceivers
which only provide a knob to control the drive level and then depend on

Hi Doug,
You don't need to remove the amplifier to put in a KXV3B.
If you have a basic K3, you only have to take out the KIO3. If you have a sub
receiver or K144XV, they'll need to be removed. But this is all very well
documented in our installation manuals, and I can do it blindfolded with a
