I support Ian's suggested option. My previous question about using a
programmable function is (I now realise) useless (as is using a macro)
because they all need a hold on a button, and we've already got that!

Hi,
Something like it happens with the DVK playback buttons (M1-M4):
If you assign some function to it, and you try to playback a dvk message
via CAT commands, it will do whatever you have assigned to DVK buttons.
Actually the play dvk message CAT command mimics pressing the front panel

Years ago Gateway bundled a so-called AnyKey keyboard with their

This was all done in the keyboard firmware; no software application
necessary.

not just hold the Dual PB button and use it as-is? Some of the cures

The macro facility is seriously overplayed as an answer to missing

NiMH-only far as I know. There are safety issues with Li, and NiCd
types aren't often used any more.
If several charger settings are offered, it's a sure bet that some
user will set it wrong for the battery type being charged. This can
damage batteries and in turn cause them to bulge or leak.

Neither microHAM nor Elecraft recommend installing firmware through one of

Does anyone know what the term matches means in relation to the phrase

will achieve the accepted match value of 2:1 when the antenna is at 10:1?

On page 32, KE7X offers that key combination for initializing

At K3 Support we very rarely ask someone to do the Parameter
Initialization (EE INIT)
If you did not have a good CONFIG file saved you could spend a good hour
turning options back on, redoing calibrations and filter set up.
If the K3 has a problem or a small glitch trying to reload the firmware
Amazon's Cloud service that QRZ runs on took a power hit and that
affected QRZ.

Brian,
I don't know the exact answer, but there is nothing wrong with a 2:1 SWR
since the KPA500 will work into that load easily. However I would
expect it to match to 1.2 or better
The range will be more limited at lower frequencies - that is just the
way the math works for matching
Let me add my recommendation *against* doing Parameter Initialization
(EE INIT) for the K3 or the KX3 - the same also applies to a Master
Reset for the K2. It is to be used only as a last resort - if you have
saved the configuration at a time when all was working just fine, it is
not a big

Take a look at the schematic for the T1 tuner (in the manual) and you will
see there is a DC path through transformer T2.
BTW- you can not/should not put your swr meter between the T1 tuner and the

If you are using the K1 you bought from me, keep in mind it has the KAT1
internal tuner. There should generally be no need to use the T1 with it. If
you -do- use the T1, remember to put the internal tuner in the K1 in CLS or
CLP mode. See page 11 of the KAT1 manual I provided.

Try seeing if the problem exists when the 70 cm is powered up when you turn
