Elecraft K3 MCU version 5.33 added the new "USB SAFE" option as a default
(CONFIG:PTT-KEY, Tap '1'), which prevents unexpected transmissions when you
restart Windows or reconnect an FTDI adapter.
This works fine when controlling a K3 or K3S via USB, but it doesn't help

I believe the JAT500 wants to be ON before the K3(S) is powered ON. Mine stays

Try opening it back up and reseating the ribbon cables.
My KX3 stopped transmitting once and it was because the ribbon cable was partly
unplugged. I expect all sorts of things might fail because of that.

Gary,
It works best if you set the LINE gain to mid-range, and then adjust the
audio levels in WSJT-X and the computer "line out" or "speaker" to get
the 4 bars with the 5th flickering. When you get close, you can adjust
the LINE gain to "fine tune" it.

Do understand in the K3 & K3S operation the actual output power is
controlled by the PWR setting on the radio. The PWR setting on the
WSJT-X screen is actually audio level. This should be adjusted about
mid scale for both TUNE and TRANSMIT. The radio Line Gain will then
allow you to adjust t

Hi Alexander,

I have increased the reading on the ALC

Gary,
Are you working in DATA A mode, and driving the audio to 4 bars solid
with the 5th bar flickering on the ALC meter?
That is the No ALC point for the K3/K3S/KX2/KX3. The lower bars are
there to give you a guide to adjust the audio.

The 12V accessory jack on the K3 was upgraded from .5A to 1A for the

The KAT500 draws 1A max with a specification of .2A typical.
