You are looking in the wrong place. We made it much easier than that. Make sure
you have the K3 and KPA connected with the AuxIO cable. Now go to a band on the
K3 (matched on the KPA500). With the KPA in STBY, set the power setting on your
K3 to whatever you want - probably 100 watts.
Hi Dave,
I am remoting my VY2TT station. Unfortunately it didn't happen before the
Pandemic. For me, the most difficult challenge was remoting the panadapter.
K4 = problem solved. Anyone anywhere with a *tablet* and internet can have
a virtual K4 at their fingertips. As great a radio as it is,
In the Config Menu:
PWR SET
If set to PER-BAND, the power level is saved on each band.
This is especially useful with external amplifiers.
Mine is set to PER-BAND.
If a KPA500 is connected to the K3S via the ACC cable (as mine is),
two sets of per-band power settings are saved: one

I have a K3 with the new synths and nothing in the Sherwood data or
Wayne's post gives me any reason to switch to a K4, especially given the
cost to do so. Bells and whistles are completely secondary for me
compared with basic performance, and I still think that abandoning the
K3s was a
For me, the big draw is remote operation with a panadapter.
Currently I live a mile from my radio, which makes getting on
the air a small expedition, so I need to coordinate with my
wife. She feels better if I'm handy to help with whatever comes up.

Hi Paul,
While the decision is of course highly individual, there are many good reasons
to upgrade to the K4.
Most obvious among them: the K4’s quantum leap in user interface. Second is
perhaps the expansion of digital audio interfaces, including HDMI video,
multiple USB ports, and ethernet.
Congrats Wayne and team on the K4 evaluation.
The two other responses do somewhat beg the question about what happens to the
K3s used market and pricing. Not a lot of K3s for sale unlike the trickle to
flood of k3.
At one point, I thought people were hanging on to their K3s waiting for a K4
I use a Genovation Keypad to fire macros at the rig, and one of them is
a power setting macro. I would imagine you could use a FN key on the
P3/SVGA if you have one.

I use Quick Memories 1 through 9 to set the band I want to work, then for each
band I use M1 and M2 to select either the CW area or the SSB area. Works great.
My question concerns Power Settings. It seems M1 and M2 do NOT save power
settings . . . or am I doing something wrong?
Cheers!
I Love my K3+(new syn)!

Hi Sid,
We do plan to merge the printed "Introduction to the K4" manual with the
"Operating" manual when time permits. Until then, both are being updated. We
recommend that everyone read the Introduction manual, which is fully
illustrated, but use the the operating manual for detailed
Sherwood has posted his measurements of the K4D's receiver performance in his
table:
http://www.sherweng.com/table.html
We're quite pleased with his test results, which confirm that the K4/K4D is
near the top of its class (direct-sampling SDRs). A K4HD would provide somewhat
higher dynamic
Wayne—I keep seeing mention of this “more detailed “ manual but have not seen
it or heard when it will be available!?
I need more details than are in the Operator’s manual.
