and smells the

arcs.
KAT500 tuner has the SWR around 1.3:1
I will probably send it off to Elecraft but thought I would ask here for
suggestions to

you don't have a problem between your antenna and KPA 500 SO239 output

Previously, I have always bought direct from Elecraft, but that was because

Hi all.
I am currently accepting requests for the K3s bezels and acrylic inserts.
The black bezel lends itself nicely to pad-printing (like silk

I have bought all my Elecraft kits direct, except for the 500 Watt power

It is an alternative to lp-bridge.
And you're right: Such programs are not "needed" for the panadapter per se.
Rather, they are needed to integrate multiple pieces of software sharing a
single serial port on your computer, which is hooked to the KX3 (or other rig).
And that is a very common

You can tame the bass with TX EQ and RX EQ.
You don’t want to use the logic bias from the up/down buttons, because that is
noisier than the mic bias. It is possible that you had odd audio because you
had both bias supplies. That usually results in lower mic output.

Anyway talked with Elecraft, the amp is going back. They said there are some

I vaguely recall reading a post that at narrow CW bandwidths the RX EQ
is turned off automatically.
That can result in a pop as bandwidth is changed if RX EQ is not flat
near the chosen sidetone pitch, with the severity of the pop depending
on your RX EQ settings.
This predated the new synth,

Hi all,
You may have noticed that QST recently reviewed the K3's performance

accurate (and complimentary), there was a significant error in the KSYN3A TX

Unless you are competing for the top positions, do not worry about it.
Running portable on just 40 meters in your spare time is not likely to
generate a score that will rank in the top 3.

Perfectly normal. The K3(s) S-meter measures the total envelope power
in whatever BW you have set. The P3 is a Fourier Transform with a
multitude of "bins" across the horizontal axis, and what you see is the
power in each of those bins. They sum to the same power as the K3
shows, but the P3
The only experience I have is with the AH-4 connected to an ICOM radio.

On SSB, the K3 S-meter measures the level of everything within the 2.7
kHz bandwidth. But on the P3, each display point only shows the power
within a small fraction of 2.7 kHz.
For a continuous CW signal, the K3 and the P3 should match. But for a
signal that is spread out in frequency the
Noticeable difference between the K3S S-Meter level and the displayed S-level
on the P3. An S-9 signal on the K3S is seen as much less, maybe an S-3 on the
P3. So its not REF LVL, not SPAN. What?

Jack, did you build the KPA500 yourself? In any case, one point that can
cause trouble is where the hot (center conductor) lead goes to the RF Output
connector. See Figure 40 on page 28 in the kit assembly manual (if you
bought yours built, you can download the manual from the Elecraft web site
