Hello Dick,
That could be done but I would have to manually turn the sub Rx on to
do this, if I am to hear both. Hearing is not mandatory but it is an
asset. And more, it is somewhat disconcerting to use P3 marker A to
affect the K3's VFO B receiver and, P3 marker B with the K3s VFO

I am using HRD 5.xx for rig control. I would like to buy the new version
6.2 if it will do the following:
Light the buttons for: ATU, ATU Tune, Notch, Notch Manual, Noise Blanker
Provides sliders for: Manual Notch, Hi Cut, Lo Cut
Any K3 users with the latest HRD to answer? I have asked before
No, not intuitive.
MKR B is the VFO B frequency. Often one wants to listen on the B frequency.
It may be on another band.
SPLIT is a special case, not the norm.

Sorry was not clear. Should have said the KX3 defaulted to 4800 and if you
have not reset it after you added the amp you need to reset to 38400.

The KX3 is 'officially' supported with HRD version 6.2, I believe. If you're
running any of the 5.x releases, you're actually running as a K3 since the 2

with 6.x, too.

Hi Gary,
I understand your need and as others have indicated it's not really how most
