If I adjust power very slowly there is no problem, but when adjusting in normal speed the value is jumping. Are you using Ham Radio Deluxe and is it trying to reset the power to its last saved value? 73, ... Joe, W4TV On 12/26/2011 5:41 AM, Jens Petersen wrote: On Sun, 25 Dec 2011

Hi Fred, Congratulations on your new toy! Once you figure out how to make it do what you want, you will love it! A very nice (and also somewhat complicated) thing about it is that the K3 is extremely flexible, and you can make it do just about anything in many different configurations!

Can use the switched 12VDC power Accessory socket (coaxial plug) on the back panel near the power plug. If it is already used for for the P3 or other accessory, then have to tap into it. It will be 12V instead of 5V though if that matters to your amp. -- View this message in context:

No problem with that here, but I think Joe is probably right. I used to use HRD, but it DID have a tendency to interfere with the operation of the K3. I believe Joe once said several problems are caused by excessive poling from HRD. 73, Tom Amateur Radio Operator N5GE ARRL Lifetime Member

Bob, I have to admit that I have not tested it, yet. From the Mini-Circuits spec. sheet the LO drive is +7dBm which is easily produced by most OCXO. Max RF output is +1 dBm with 8-dB conversion loss so one will need some gain ahead of it if used in a receiving up-converter. The K3 can
