An: Phil Debbie Salas;
I'm a retired electric utility communications technician. My
utility has used smart meter technology to read meters for a
number of years. My gas and electric meters are on the outside
wall of my shack and I've not been aware of any problem, either
to or from the meters.
There are a number of

Hi Gang, my utility is about to roll out smart meters and it occured to me

At risk of prolonging this thread, I also live in a very quiet location.
The smart meter is about 20 feet from the shack (60 feet from nearest
antenna), has been there for at least 10 years, and there is not a trace
of RFI from it that I recognize as such.

Guys,
How are we defining smart meters? There appear to be a class which only
can be read remotely. Then there appears to be a class which have the
ability to control various house heavy current devices (e.g. heat
pumps). For all I know the may be only one meter with the ability to

It's on the front panel. In the upper left corner of the radio, do a
hold on the Band ^ button. Hold on Band up is a QSK mode toggle.

I've used MixW for 7 years, and always been happy with it. However, I'd
like to learn from those who have used other similar software.
Here's what I use MixW for: It maintains my log, transmits/receives CW,
RTTY and PSK, serves as a voice keyer, figures antenna headings and puts
them on a

I use DXLabs. I works just great with the K3 and you can configure macro
command buttons AND SLIDERS for variable controls. I have tried just about
every program I can find and for me at least DXLabs is the best...AND...it
is free.
You download the Launcher program and from that you can

Thanks, Greg. I'm looking at its website. Does the spot window make a band
map, i.e. put the calls of spotted stations on the waterfall? If it does, I
can't see it on their website.

Let's answer Paul's actual question, Can I turn QSK off? I think you
mean require some form of manual PTT before you can send and the answer
is Yes. Turn off VOX by holding BAND DOWN. Without manual PTT, when
you send, it won't make RF and it will tell you in VFO B. You can
assert PTT
UH,
QSK is Full Break IN. Would not QSK OFF be Semi-break IN?
Just curious

My email has been hijacked. I have taken, I think, all precautions to

Sorry!

I have 'smart' electric and gas meters from PGE. The only HF RFI I've ever
detected is a
very weak 'beep' from the gas meter every second or so on 1820 kHz which was
picked up by
an amplified receiving antenna a few feet away. I've since moved the antenna to
about 20'
away for other reasons
QSK provides the ability to hear between CW characters (or elements if it's
fast enough) while sending.
Semi QSK is the ability to go from xmit to rx without touching any
controls (i.e. VOX for CW).
I think Fred nailed it. Paul was probably looking for a way to enable xmit
manually without a

Both performed flawlessly and it was a pleasure to use a K3 with the
enormous pileups we faced. No overloading and the dsp and filtering
were superb at slicing the piles into more manageable pieces.

It would be great if the power level for the instant band was shown on the
display. Particularly so for users who use different power levels on the
various bands. Another thing that would be good to show is the bandwidth in
use, not only the filter selected. Maybe both.
Tnx and 73,

Tony,
The power level is displayed if you change the Power knob even a small
amount - just rotate he knob a little to see the current power.
The bandwidth graphic already shows the bandwidth in use. While it has
some granularity, it is still a good indicator of the DSP bandwidth.

Don,
Many requests for enhancements to the K3 are indeed already there and it
behoves us, the operators, to exercise our knowledge of the equipment rather
than expect the manufacturer to do all the work for us.:-)
Having said that I seem to 'discover' a feature long forgotten about when I
While discussion suggestions...
In the CQWW CW on 20m in the evening many of the Russian stations over the
polar path had tremendous flutter on their signals. Found it was often
easier to copy them with the AGC on slow instead of fast. AGC is about
the only rough spot I've found with my K3. And
I don't have a KPA500 and wondering what the deal is with turning off the
back power switch. Seems to me that if is was to be turned off every time
that it would have been placed on the front. I don't want to have to go
around the back of my station every time I get up and leave. Does it say
Like the K3, the POWER switch on the KPA500 requires that mains voltage be
applied so the processor and front panel logic is live. The difference is
that rear panel switch on the KPA500. It may be left on indefinitely. Like
the K3, there is a very small parasitic power drain required to keep the
Ted.
I suggest you stick with the contesters who almost universally use AGC
S with the K3. The AGC characteristics for the K3 are more adjustable
than for most transceivers (see the K3 menu), and those menu parameters
become more important than the AGC attack and decay times.

Don W3FPR
Strange! My K3 already does both of these things, right from the factory.

Here in Texas we get a lot of lightning storms that wreak havoc on our
