There are a few things you need to be sure of before this will work.
- Make sure your RS232 cable has a direct configuration. Pin 2 to pin
2, pin 3 to pin3, and pin 5 to pin 5, end to end.
- Make sure you're using the correct serial port identifier. Usually,
native ports have low numbers like

There are at least a few bits of arcana like this not in the OM. IMHO,
they're valuable features to have documented, and certainly make the
K3 a competitive value against the other brand names' best offerings.
So yes, a manual covering all the operating nuances should be edited
up to date.

I increased the LIN OUT level and seems I am comfortable with LIN OUT = 30
to have a decent audio on the recorded file
This will be a problem during CW or SSB operation? I think not, but just to
be sure.

Jorge,
That *should* work fine. A Line Out level of 10 is what I use here
for receive audio on data modes like MT63, Olivia, etc.
Make sure you're using a stereo patch cord from the K3 to the input to
the recording device.

You should connect a COM port cable from the PC to the K3's RS232
socket, select the correct port on Digipan. On the K3, set PTT to DTR
or RTS, and correspondingly set it the same on Digipan for the COM
port you selected. If your serial cable is RX/TX/GND only, you could
also select VOX for DATA
Idea:
Follow the instructions on p23 of the Rev C P3 manual (lower left) to
force a firmware load. This involves a few steps, but they're easy to
follow.
If that doesn't work, don't despair. If it's broke, Elecraft can fix
it. Contact support.

If you decide to use the KX3's I/Q output, be sure that the 2.5mm
plug's 'shoulder' doesn't interfere with the top cover. There is a
cutout for the RX I/Q jack but it's not designed for Radio Shack
adapters (too wide). Some molded cables also have this problem.
HDSDR works fine with the KX3,
Check on how your sub's antenna is sourced.

It would be interesting if someone with an EXTREF board installed would
post the change in REF CAL number from cold to hot and extended run.
For K3 #24, w/EXTREF:
Cold start: 49.379.774 is typical;
After ~2 hours warmiing up: 49.379.693 is typical.
The EXTREF here is driven by a Trimble
You probably need to copy all the new firmware using the push button
in the K3 utility. Place it in its own folder, from which you can
download it into the K3.

Poor is a bit harsh, what do you expect from a single small C/O relay.
Anything over 30dB isolation is a luxury.

So for the conversion (either way) first add 40.

Are you using PSK31 normal frequencies? You can find these at

There is a good explanation about why these common frequencies are
best to use for trying to make PSK31 contacts.

You could adapt the Heil foot switch to the KX3's Mic jack.

Hi Ron,
When I received K3 #24, it was a week before CQ WW SSB in 2007. It
was a K3/10 then. With an end-fed long wire at 30 feet, I worked 17
new countries on 15 and 20m.
No special equipment here at that time. Just the K3 running 10W and
less. With an old Shure desk mic. No special
