Don is incredible! He always knows when something is amiss. My K2 became
unresponsive while adjusting c22 because I managed to swap c7 and c21
capacitors on the control board during assembly.
And yes, I did need to read up on zero-beating using sideband, not cw mode.
Thanks again, Don.

My KAT500 turns on by itself after a power outage. I can then turn it off and
it stays off until another power outage. I am using a regulated wall wart to
power it. Is this normal behavior? I keep it powered continuously but normally
turned off. Allen, W0OUU
Al,
I am a bit confused by your wording.
You select CW or other modes with the MODE button - not the menu.
While in CW mode, go into the menu and turn VOX ON.
That is all there is to it. When you cycle power the VOX should stay on
if you select CW mode with the MODE button.

Thanks. It wasn't the answer but got me looking in the right place. I
had to set CONFIG/FM MODE to ON. I thought the setting in K3 Utility
would handle it but I guess not.

I've used one of the PF functions for that. Easy peasy. I don't want VOX

Pardon the OT post.

Yes. You can disable DHCP in the amplifier and assign a static address.
Your router must be capable (within its address range) of accepting that
static address without a conflict from another device.

Is the intent to use the SDR-IQ as a separate receiver or as a panadapter?
I suspect the former but if it's the later use the K3S i-f output into the
SDR-IQ and setup SpectraVue appropriately. It works wonderfully.
Otherwise follow K4TAX's advice.

I have a Raspberry Pi 3 running OpenVPN to solve exactly this kind of

OpenVPN lets you connect remotely from the outside world and actually
get an IP off of your own LAN.
The best thing about this is you aren't opening ports that *might* be

permanently damaged if you push hard enough for it not to fall out
unexpectedly. Plus the mismatch will be bad. But in an emergency?

difficult.

The RX Ant In and RX Ant Out are protected during transmit. As to

I set the IP by using the facility in my router to assign a fixed IP to a MAC

Mark,
It sounds like you may be tuning to WWV using CW mode. CW mode uses a
receive offset equal to your sidetone pitch which can cause you to be in
error by twice the sidetone pitch.
What mode are you using when you tune WWV? It must be SSB, and you must
tune the transmitted tones

Mark,
The setting of C22 does not control the frequency readout directly. The
frequency readout uses the contents of the EEPROM that are produced when
you do the CAL PLL and CAL FIL procedures.
The only time C22 must be set correctly is just before you do a CAL PLL
or a CAL FIL. At other
