"Not a big deal but there is something weird with the SWR detection in the

It also seems possible that the tuning solution change is triggered by "high
SWR threshold". Read the Programming Reference information for commands ^HS;
What is a big deal is using the KPA1500 on 60m unless you're using a dummy
load or paper clip for an antenna. "The 60 meter band has special
restrictions including the restriction of radiated power relative to the
gain of a half-wavelength dipole antenna which is 100 watts PEP." We need

I don't know the KPA1500 tuner but all the annoying changes in tuning solution
of my KAT500 were fixed by defeating RF frequency detection. Is your tuner
Hi Eric,
What is the measured SWR on 12M?
Way different band, worked VP6R 40M CW using K2 at ~15 watts and ground
plane 19' vertical.

In the KPA1500 utility I have the tuner bypassed for the whole 60 meter band.
The tuner’s logic is detecting a high SWR and overriding the bypass selection.
This happens at 30 watts forward power.
The answer is to turn off the amp when on 60 and just use the radio’s tuner.

I use a C3 up at 80 feet it works quite well. I have not really spent a
lot of time on 12m, really no activity here to make it worthwhile but on
17m it works rather well despite not being a particularly good match. I
fixed that by measuring the actual impedance at the end of my feeder

Hello Wayne,
This was intended to allow the PX3 to be placed on either side of the radio,
etc. Have you tried tucking the excess underneath the KX3?
Only on one side of the KX3 is place for the PX3. On the other side there is the antenna
jack - at least on my transceiver. ;o) You would
Hello,
There is a new version of Win4K3Suite available, version 2.016. This release
corrects an issue with the SWR display for European Windows versions. It
also fixes the display of the power level if the power is less than 12W
Win4K3Suite is a full featured control program for the K3/S, KX3
It’s cleaner to use a right angle connector anyway, in my opinion. Makes for a
less clunky install.

The A and B knob each have identical encoders that use plug-in boards to
the front panel PCB. Chances are that the encoder isn't connected
anymore (got loose).
Opening up the front panel should tell. Note that the A and B encoder
are identical so you can swap them for testing.
Note that
I have a 'brand-new' K2, with the SSB option, for sale, serial number 5507.
Why 'brand-new'?
I explain - I finished building the K2 about four years ago. All went well
and the radio tested perfect except I could not get an exact alignment on
40 meters. I spoke to Don Wilhelm and he suggested I
Hi. My P3 has started turning off a few seconds to a minute after I turn
on my K3/P3 or when I then try to turn my P3 back on. I was watching and
saw no error message like low voltage. Watching also the voltmeter on my
K3 and stayed at 14.5 to 14.7 volts. dropped power supply to 14 volts

Except for my 6M yagi, all of my antennas are non-resonant antennas.
My favorite is the 256 ft center fed wire {resonant at 1.825 MHz} with
a balanced feed. The balanced feed runs from the feed-point on the
antenna all the way to the hybrid Guanella 4:1 balun that sits on the
shelf just
Sorry about that mess; that will teach me to try and respond with an iPhone.
What I was trying to say is that I run a KPA500 and KAT500 into non-resonant
antennas on all of the WARC bands and still manage to crack pileups. On 12 and
17 meters I tune my tiny OB7-3 Optibeam tribander. Of the
