Can you make the FM sound sweet? The FM sounds like you're listening to an HT. It doesn't sound as rich as the other modes. Maybe giving the FM a deeper sound. Maybe that's what I mean. I've heard VHF radios and the FM sounds deeper/more base than the K3 unless I don't have something set right on

You can set the radio to tune on 5 watts automatically. You can go to the TUN PWR menu in CONFIG and rather than NOR set it to 5 watts. Then whenever you enter the tune mode it will put out 5 watts. Then when you are done tuning you'll still be set at whatever power you were before. ~Brett

1. Restore the full range of SHIFT while in 10 Hz resolution (currently limited to 1.28 to 1.72 kHz) to match the range while set to 50 Hz steps (0.05 to 2.60 kHz). 2. Increase power output to around 800W by means of some sort of external add-on device. :-) Merry Christmas! Paul WW2PT

There is a lot here about the K3 firmware tweaks - so I will address the other sides of Wayne's question. Application software - I have a KRC2 and I would like it to know the difference between 6m and 10m. In fact it would be nice to get away from the fixed bands per relay and instead map

Yes. I don't know why he asked for that. Perhaps he would care to say why it would be useful? I don't think that many people would want that information on display in real time so I wouldn't expect that developers would rush to provide a display that showed AGC parameters anyway. Applications
