I have MIXW working with K3 and Rig Expert, but MIXW does not pick up the
frequency from the transceiver.
I have tried AUTOINF set as nor and as 1 .
Ideas?

Jim,
The effectiveness of the NB and NR will depend on the type of noise you
encounter - that is why the K3 implements both.
The NB works best on impulse type noise. It will have little effect on
noise that makes more of a 'frying bacon' sound. The way it works is to
detect the noise early
With my MP I can have main VFO in left ear and Sub-VFO in right ear.
Do I need the 2nd RX board to be able to do this with the K3, or have I
forgotten to check something?

Make sure the K3 PITCH value matches the MMTTY MARK value. The rest of your
settings below seem OK. Sometimes, a discrepancy will show up as the two
tones offset from the two yellow lines in the MMTTY FFT display.

I would say : signal tracing, as explained in the owner manual. The K2 ist the
perfect rig to do this kind of job : its design and construction are simple and
access to the components is easy. Have a look to the dirty signal tracing on
the elecraft site.

Is there any update on the availability of the variable bandwidth roofing
filter module? I am on the quest for some narrow CW roofing filters and not
sure whether to wait for the variable bandwidth model or just bite the bullet
and purchase the fixed bandwidth filters. Anyone know the latest?
I just put my K3 into PSK D mode and adjusted the shift of the filter and it
shows the center frequency as * FC 1.01 . Not 1.00 but 1.01! Running f/w

What a surprise! Cross band operation with 2 VFO is implemented even in my

Well I hope it will not take long to update the firmware to implement this
feature because my K3 with KRX3 is on the way here and I
Initially this KAT2 worked well, switching between ant1 ant2. During

I have to say, I haven't been able to tell a great deal of difference,

Interesting problem. It would be helpful if you told us more about

This is a high priority and Wayne is working on it now. But it is NOT a
trivial matter
and requires a lot of code. When it's ready it will be announced on the

It has always worked like that. If you previously had VFO A and VFO B

That's it!
The radio has come back to life. I don't remember ever hearing about using
PITCH and being able to change the frequency for the RTTY tones so I'm
pretty sure the K3 side of things wasn't changed. The one thing I forgot to
mention, of course, was that I was having trouble trying

to FSK D. It was in this mode yesterday. I have the DUAL PB turned on.
Hello Curt!
This K3 works well at home, but I am having some trouble using it at

I don't know of any incorrect assembly step that might result in this.

Hi all,
I see the lack of crossband A/B switch as a real shortcoming of the K3. I am
used to using the A/B switch for a quick excursion to another band to check
for band conditions. I realize that with crossband *split* operation, full
QSK is not possible because of the many relays involved, but
