Hi Dave,

It only seems to be a problem when the KPA3 is selected.
The power output on either a whistle or using the 2 tone oscillator is low on

In preparation for my KRX3 which is on the way to me, I thought
that I would be clever and load the latest Beta firmware.
The MCU LD crashed, and now I cannot get my K3 to INIT using the
POWER switch and NORM controls. I sits there with MCU LD message

I made some measurements of the isolation between ANT 1 ANT 2 on
my K3.
There is little difference between ATU BYPASS. Unable to do
50MHz.
1.9MHz 58.1dB
3.7MHz 51.9dB
5.1MHz 49.2dB
7.0MHz 47.1dB
10MHz 44.7dB
14MHz 42.5dB
18MHz 40.8dB
21MHz 39.2dB
Same here. I have two of these supplies, and have yet to hear a
peep of RF noise from them.

Whilst in the memory area, I would like to have the ATU/Bypass

Sometimes when changing bands I forget to

I have just finished putting together, and testing a 6m preamp kit

Although the arrangement is a bit of a lash up it has proved

I would hang on to your XV-50 until you have checked that you find

Overall I am very pleased with the review that Peter produced.
Having chided him somewhat over the lack of a K2 review, I and
others pushed him quite hard towards producing one for the K3.
Given that the K3 is quite a different beast to the Far East Black
