Hi all,
KAT500 + KPA500 connected to K3 through coax and elecraft
interfacecables. NO antenna connected to KAT500 (all 3 connectors open)
KAT500 and K3 connected to same DC-supply.
KPA500 off (AC cord disconnected)
Results:
KAT500 switched on, Mode = auto, ANT = 1, no antenna connected: *S4
Arie,

Aire,
Yes, that spurious signal on 28.004.5 is real and generated within the KAT500.
Recent KAT500 beta firmware optionally shuts off an oscillator inside the
KAT500 to suppress the spur. The oscillator is automatically turned back on by
a number of events, such as pressing a button or
Thanks for all info on the KAT500 beta FW.
Sorry, I was not aware that the problem had been bypassed in a beta version.

Ok that a larger display is better, but I prefer a compact size for my

Already Exists sofware to use digital modes on the P3 main display? From

already exits . sorry but English is not very familiar to me.

I have read the manuals for the equipment I have, sometimes

I use the PF1 button to toggle my external speakers on/off while having

Connect the K3 RX Out to a splitter - connect one output of the
splitter to the second receiver input and the other output of the
splitter back to the K3 RX IN.
I've used off the shelf 2 set VHF/UHF/FM hybrid splitter/combiners
even at HF with good balance/isolation and no excess splitting loss
I am borrowing this K2. I have had it for 2 weeks. The owner just had it

You may see both 4.9 MHz and some other frequencies at Q22 - it all
depends on the input signal and the VFO frequencies - thay can produce a
number of mixing products.
Do you have the problem on one band? If so, check the menu to see if RX
ANT has been turned on - that is a per band
Tim,
Since the RX sensitivity is good below 1800 kHz, on the surface, that
would indicate that either the 160 meter Low Pass Filter or the bandpass
filter has a problem and the cutoff frequency is too low.

If you mean PSK31 and RTTY modes, that will do it. BTW, P3 Utility is
not the firmware itself, but a means of downloading and installing
firmware updates - it runs on the computer, and is not needed once that
task is completed.
If you want other data modes, you will have to run the

The Hamlog app:

can be as simple or as powerful as you like. And if you team it up with a

Two good packages are Hamlog and RUMlog. Both work with the iPad and KX3 if
you have a piglet/pigail serial to wifi bridge. Both can be used with out

is there a way to add in a field for power level setting ? this way when
you go to a data mem it sets the power at say 4.8 and maybe 8w on a diff

I finally looked at the manual and saw the ERR messages. At first I thought
that there should be a number with it. Wrong, it was listed as ERR KEY. It

Power is a per band setting, not per memory. There is no power field in the K3
