Hi all,
Just been cheeky really i have a icom 7410 with the roofing filters and its
mint with a yaesu ft736r 2/70/50mhz comes with mutec board for 2/70
Would like to exchange for early basic k3, or swap icom 7410 for kx3?

Howdy K3' people:
There is an 8-element yagi connected to the KAT500 for the K3 internal
6m selected 6m antenna.
I set KAT500 default antenna for 6m to Ant2.
On the KAT500 I can press 'TUNE' then tap K3 XMIT and the KAT500 will
usually settle on or about 1.1:1 .
Then when I .run a WSJT, Data,

Bill,
There is no provision for adjusting the LO frequency of the XV144
transverter - unless you have a recent one.
Yes, the XV50 and the XV432 do have provisions for adjusting the LO
frequency.
Newer XV144 transverters have had to change the LO crystal, and L19 was
added to the LO circuit
David,
Some subscribe to the reflector in digest mode and will ask for a direct
response for that reason.
I can't speak for Bill's request, just saying that is one possible reason.

Bob,
Did you QSY after tuning? If so that would explain what is happening -
you may have moved out of the band segment that you used for the TUNE.
See the lower half of page 9 in the KAT500 manual.
You may want to 'train' your KAT500 on all segments of the 6 meter band.
If you have done that
Bruce,
Given that information, you may have been able to correct it by altering
the port 'handshaking' settings in your computer.
But you have fixed it, so go with it.
I did not know that the handshaking loopback would cause a failure,

Not quite sure what you mean by lock frequency, but try holding the

press/hold). The display will

For Sale is my Elecraft K1, S/N 3141 four-band transceiver covering 40/30/20
and 15 meters. It includes the KAT1 Antenna Tuner and KNB1 Noise Blanker.
Also included is a custom tilt stand made from red oak. Photos available
upon request.
I am the original owner and built the K1 very carefully.
Hi Tom,
I just read and like your review.
I don't know for sure, but my understanding is that the 4.2 kHz filter
actually corresponds to a conventional 8 KHz filter. My understanding is that
all signals between carrier frequency minus 4.2 kHz and carrier frequency
plus 4.2 kHz are

It will require quite a test using HRD, or something more demanding.
