It is surely possible with an external RF changeover relay, switched from
the PTT line. Don't know if it can be done within the K3 though.

Thanks for the reply. My K2 is just the bare bones transceiver, with no
options added and I hadnt changed any of the default options. I did change
the 8R Hold parameter to 'Hold' which I think was its original setting. I
also had some voltage checks to make following advice from Gary at

Cannot do that, but if you have the KXV3 installed, you can use the RX
antenna input.
There is benefit in that approach - you cannot transmit into your
receive antenna and its preamps are safe.

Hello Jorge,
Yes, you will need the RRMTCBL for connecting your remote or
terminal K3 to the terminal RemoteRig box. You will need another
serial cable for connecting the control RemoteRig box (COM1-Front) to
your computer's COM port to allow for control via Ham Radio Deluxe or
other
Thanks Brandon,
So for the K3/100 and Remoterig the RRMTCBL include all this cables?:
(pages 178-178 of Remoterig manual)
3 Connect the CAT cable E2c from the COM2 connector to the K3 CAT connector
4 Connect the mic cable E2a from the AUX/MIC jack to the K3 mic connector.
5 Connect the audio

To put in slightly different terms:
The KX3 is a direct conversion radio and has no IF (intermediate
frequency). e.g. If you tune 14.305 USB, that signal mixes with the
VFO=14.305 MHz. The result is audio.
But this is a SDR so more accurately the output is (approx) 3KHz

There is a very simple answer for that. All you care about for receive
is signal-to-noise ratio on YOUR end of the path... efficiency is
irrelevant because there is usually plenty of gain in any modern
receiver, and if there isn't enough gain a simple low noise preamp fills
in nicely. That

I note that as expected, the center frequency of the bandpass of any

Yes, the default is 1500 Hz. with a 2.8 kHz filter, that puts the low
end at 200 Hz and the high end at 2900 Hz.
AND that is why you should be using the Hi-Cut, Lo-Cut on SSB instead of
Shift and Width.
For good intelligibility, you need to have some content in the 300 Hz
range, so

Don,
thanks for the reply.
1. when I try using the Lo-Cut, it seems to be confined to 100 Hz
increments, so, 150, 250, 350, but no 200, 300, or 100 available; is
there a way to set that differently?
2. I can accomplish the same thing either way if I understand what is
going on, but
hold SHIFT knob til you see - NORM -
if you turn the WIDTH knob to an odd number 2.5 2.7 2.9 3.1 etc
tap SHIFT or WIDTH knob so the LOW and HI leds comes on

you will see LO .05 .15 .25 etc

David,
OK, I have perhaps ignored the subtle points - in some cases, you will
have 50 Hz rounding and in other cases, you will have 100 Hz rounding -
that makes little difference. 50 Hz to a SSB low frequency response
does not make much difference.

A 50 Hz difference will not make a significant difference in the
