I just tried N1MM in SO2V mode using a K3 with Sub Receiver. Everything works
fine.
Now introduce RemoteRig. Connected to the remote K3 a thousand miles away,
when I press Control + Right Arrow Button to listen and move focus to VFO B/Sub
Receiver there is no audio from the sub receiver
I am afraid that this way you will get a lot of birdies originated from
KX3 itself. This is especially the case on 2m using an attached SMA
whip. Any other experience or info on the way tu cure this!?

With interest, I read your emails about the K3 QSK and the noise it produced
and I have a question for you. I've had my K3 for about three years and I
purchased it with a full complement of CW filters for both receivers,
including the 8-pole 250 hz filter. I normally run my radios in full

I have heard that the configuration of AFSK TX - FIL ON/FIL OFF affects
afsk transmitted by feeding computer sound card generated afsk audio
tones. The entry in the manual seems to indicate the filter is only
active on afsk generated by the K3 internal afsk capability.Which is
correct?

I think you are exactly correct! It does happen with 'key up' or between words

Unfortunately the K2 KPA100/KAT100 will only work with the K2. For the K3
you'll need to get the KPA3/KAT3 modules, or possibly get an external amp such
as KXPA100/KXAT100 that can be used with both K2and K3 (albeit not as fully
integrated as the dedicated amplifier/ATU options for each radio).
Nope. The six non-serial-port leads in that cable are K2 internal leads
very specific to the K2.

If your KX1 has 4 bands, you have firmware 1.02 - it is required to

That is also the latest firmware revision.
There was a change in the encoder used in the KX1 a while back. The new

While the K3 is an SDR, it generates FSK Mark and Space tones directly

That is why I first ask how the transceiver behaves when connected to a

Even that is not conclusive because there is always the possibility of a
