I've been using the Remote Rig interfaces with my K3 for several years and the K3/Mini for the past 6 months or so. I'm a big fan of the Remote Rig devices, not a fan of the K3/Mini. I started out doing remote operating with the K4VV group using an all software approach and the Remote Rig devices

I have used the RemoteRig with a K3/0 (not the mini) to a K3/KPA500 combination and a SteppIR vertical. It works fine, but the RX audio is certainly not a strong as directly through the RemoteRig. As others have noted this not quite plug and play and some tweaking of the parameters is

Jim, Nice review. Sounds like you have a configuration very similar to my own. I recently put together a case system for transporting my KX3/PX3/KXPA100 setup on car trips for remote operations. I have a bit more to take with me as I do mostly digital modes. For what it's worth, you can

Good perception, Jim... experience pays off. We had this same problem with Andy, K2LE. We have two remoterig remote ends connected to the same common remote station. My audio has been flawless. Andy kept having poor audio -- muffled, microphonic sounds but no clear audio. It turned out to be

​I've been using the K3/0 mini for about a year for casual DXing and for many contests. The K3/0 mini is perfect -- a mirror of your K3.​ Once you get used to the the fact that you are setting menus on the Remote radio, all will be good. The mix that is important is how you use the K3/0 to

I bought a KX3 and PX3 with a view towards using them with an external high performance transverter for 144MHz (with an IF of 14MHz). My main interest being weak signal operation on VHF. The ability to use the I/Q outputs with a sound card or PX3 and the excellent receiver performance in

I don't have either a KX3 or PX3, and my 2m work is limited to FM, but the problems that you describe could be due to various fixable problems. For example, some P3s had spur problems due to bad electrical contact between parts of the enclosure, as well as improperly attached BNC connectors on

The suggestion is to use the two identical receivers in the K3 to null noise and interference. The idea is to connect each receiver to a different antenna so the signals arrive with different phases. The phase difference will generally be different for the desired signal and the interference
