Yes it does. There are 4 memories playable from the front panel
and there is another selectable bank of four. They are programmable using the

Ideally the signal strength should be derived from the receiver's

While attempting to do a K3 wattmeter calibration, I go into the CONFIG
menu. However, I only see WMTR MW and I cannot select any other power
settings, such as LP or HP. I ten checked to make sure the TECH MODE is on.
Going to that entry, I see Funct ion which I assume is On.
Has anybody heard anything regarding the timing of the KX3-2M module for the KX3? Is
it still planned for high enough stability for JT65B mode and a maximum power of 10w?

If memory serves me, you need to have the K3 in the range
before the CONFIG:WMTR will indicate that range, e.g., if

There was a long thread on this recently. Essentially modern 3.5 mm plugs and

both will work in the intended jack.
The K3 manual (p 8) lists 1/8 inch for the rear jacks. Note: All plugs should

3.5mm and 1/8 inch are now the same thing - one place calls them 3.5mm
while others use the 1/8 inch designation for the same thing.
Yes, it was not always so, but that was well before stereo plugs and
