Look at the two diodes in the SWR/watt meter circuit. These two diode are critical to the operation of the K3. These are the foundation of the K3s ALC implementation. Ive had to replace them. Lee K0WA On Fri, Mar 1, 2019, 8:47 AM Peter Lock wrote: > Good day > > Late last year, my K3 (no

Eric, Thank you for the update. I did find that I needed to reduce transceiver output from where I had it set ~26 W to 21 W to keep within legal output. Other wise no issues. I do use BYP for tuner as I have a remote tuner. 72 & 73, Bill K9YEQ FT'er for K2, KX1, KX3, KXPA100, KAT500, W2,

Brian, With the KX3 and KXPA100, you should be using the optional KX3 to KXPA100 Adapter Cable (KXPACBL) connected as shown on page 14 of the KXPA100 manual. You will then connect the KXUSB cable to the KXPA100 RS232 jack to communicate with either the KX3 or the KXPA100. In other words,

Trying to get RTTY running on my KX2, but no luck, so far. The KX2 is setup for WSJTx and works properly (TX and RX) with both straight audio cables to the computer and through a SignaLink USB. My conclusion from this is that the audio connections and audio gains must be set relatively close.

I can give you a scenario  that may make it easier to understand; this presumes you have the sub rx installed. The DX is staying on one TX frequency, put that in the VFO A, leave it alone.  Have your TX set to split on VFO B.  Go into split RX so you can hear both; using the VFO B to listen
