Hi Jim - You are well on your way to 6m success with the K3/KPA500/KAT500/PR6 line up. However, there is one more issue you will need to address in your cabling system. The K3's Digout1 signal is asserted on the PIN 11 of the AUX cable. That presents a conflict with the KPA500 INHIBIT on PIN

The Elecraft KX3 architects should weigh in on this topic - a simplified block diagram would be helpful. The KX3 roofing filter is likely a analogue filter realized with precision op amps and operating at the KX3 low-frequency IF (11 KHz?) - not baseband. The roofing filter is applied prior to

Hi Bob - It is not an operator error problem, and it is not a microphone level or compression problem. I have experienced the same problem you are describing with my K3 on 6m. The cause of the slow ramp-up of SSB audio (RF output) is due to the K3's internal RF power automatic gain control. The
