The KPA500 does NOT have a pass-through mode. It DOES have a serial port
dedicated to communicating with Kenwood radios to extract the operating
frequency. It can just monitor the serial link or it can also poll for the
needed data. You will need to provide a Y cable that connects the signal
Apparently the KPA-500 includes the ability to operate in a CAT
pass through mode (like the P3) with Elecraft and Kenwood rigs
(see Menu items RS232 P, RS232 X, RADIO, and SER POLL).

I have been using my K3S on WSJT-X without any problems. Today, the frequency
appears to have shifted .7 KHz low. That is, if I were on 50.313 MHz FT8, I
now have to tune to 50.3137 to decode signals.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,

Steve,
The range of the T1 and the internal KX3 are about the same.
PS - why do folks insist on putting hyphens in the Elecraft model
numbers - they do not belong, it is KX3 and not KX-3.
Look at the sales brochure or the webpage.

Yes, we are.
Licensed amateur radio operators should either know what they are doing or know
not to do it. One could only hope...but restricting technical learning is not

I have an KX-3 with the built in tuner. How much wider range is the

There are none. Everything is pre-tuned and tested at the factory.

The KPA500 and KAT500 both detect transmitting frequency with as little
as a tap on the mic or a dit at 35 wpm, and switch almost
instantaneously. All they need is PTT (Amp Key) from the rig to an RCA
jack that loops through the KPA500 to the KAT500 with an RCA-RCA jumper.
That "loop-through"
I suspect that Elecraft would rather we didn’t have such a control.
Can you imagine the tech support nightmare if we started turning all the
slotted screws “Tight to the right”!

Has anyone investigated getting/creating an extender board to enable adjusting

If I had such a board, then what would I be looking at to properly adjust the

Or again, what are the alignment adjustments

microKEYER II with the DB37-TS-MINI6 cable does digital modes just
fine with the TS-480 - it is designed to operate that way. I have
no information about adding the KPA500/KAT500 into the mix as I
do not know if/how the KPA500/KAT500 acquires frequency/band data
from the TS-480.

I have the same problem here with the W2.. I gave up!! Good luck!!

Check Q1 (MJE182) and U1B (LM6482). Most likely U1 is bad..

There's only one Com9. Device Manager shows no dupes of any ports.
I've assigned a different port number, one that is an unused hardware
port, with the very same results.

Yes, this is available in general aviation by audio panels like the Garman
350c which offers what they call 3D audio. That allows you to set up
different sources to appear to come from different locations or seats in
the cabin. PS Engineering offers something in the PDA 360EX called
IntelliAudio,

The W2 works just fine. Now I'm attempting to establish communications
with the W2 from the PC, with no luck thus far. The PC is running Win
10 Home, 64 bit. I'm using the Elecraft USB cable plugged into the PC

That sounds excellent. Maybe I'm being over-protective. New Side-KX panels
and lid arrived today (after spending quite some time in Customs!).

My KXAT3 goes down many unpaved gravel roads in the mountains of North

At times we joke that the roads are actually potholes inter-connected by
short stretches of gravel pavement.
The KX3 lives in the cab of a Ranger pick-up mounted on a

I like A-Ab too, when working split. It makes the DX station stand out.
A nice thing is that the K3 knows that even when you have A-Ab set for

Sometimes, when the DX is hard to copy, I even switch back and forth
between Diversity and

It was indeed a poor solder joint on one end of D1 on the LPA board; there
was a hairline gap between the solder and the terminal of the diode.
Reflowing the solder has cured the problem.
