The P3 has a reference oscillator that is adjustable in the menu. It can
drift relative to the K3. I need to do a more careful test to try to
determine where the drift is originating.

Good Evening,
A dusting of snow started this sunny week. Each night into the
upper 20s, each day up into the 40s. Great week to collect wood and
bring it home. I have enough to get me through the end of the year now
to get another two month's worth in before the rains return. Since I am

That should work fine. Just set the menu (or easier still, use
K3Utility) to set the proper filter widths and offsets.

I have made my way to preparing to install the filters I purchased for the
project. I have read (someplace) that I could place the filters on the RF
board skipping the locations that I might later decide to add. With
thoughts of possibly adding narrower SSB and data filters I am planning to
install
Ken,
That message says the key or PTT jack is active, and the KX3 'thinks'
the dot contact is closed.
Do you have a microphone plugged in? If the PTT button is stuck, it
will cause that error.
If that is not the problem, do you have a stereo 3.5mm plug with nothing
connected to it? Plug it
So I have the K3s TCXO, and no P3 drift. Are they not related?

Hi Vic,
I do have the .5 TXCO but also have the
ref board attached and a GPSDO which
updates constantly and the software I use,
NMEATime 2 updates the computer time every
minute to 6 digits out.
That said, the K3 is always dead on but as
to the P3, I never have noticed the P3
doing anything
Dear Zac,
I am not sure how it might work on your KX3, but the K3 will hold the " VFO B
decode" window open on both RX and TX. The setting I discovered to get there is
press "TEXT DEC" button, then use VFO B to select "CW 5-40" (or whatever speed)
then press "TEXT DEC" again. It locks VFO B
Make sure the internal cables are seated. Mine was acting very weird once and
that fixed it.
You probably already did that when removing the modules, but it is worth
mentioning.

Hi guys. Well the move to FL went okay, but it looks like the KX3 does
not like the sunshine state.
I was setting up for the 10 meter contest, and the KX3 was acting
'funny'. When I turned it on, the display showed ERR KEY, with no key
plugged in. Tried EE INIT and reloading the configuration an
Mine is quite stable after the 15 min warmup.

My K3 seems quite stable (at least for CW purposes) although I don’t have a
TCXO. But there is considerable drift in my P3 for the first 15 minutes or so
after turn-on. This is noticeable when the span is narrow (5 kHz). I wonder if
anyone has thought about the possibility of stabilizing it?
